Answer:
92,88,84,80,...
a=92
d=88-92=84-88= -4
let nth term be 0
tn=a+(n-1)d
0 = 92 + (n-1)-4
0=92-4n+4
0=96-4n
4n=96
n=24

Answer:
The 23rd term of the A.P is 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- A.P is 88, 84, 80.....
To Find:
- Which term of the A.P is 0
Solution:
First we have to find the coomon difference of the A.P
First term of the A.P = 88
Common difference = a₂ - a₁
Common difference (d) = 84 - 88 = -4
Now we have to find which term of the A.P is 0
The nth term of an A.P is given by,
aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1) × d
where aₙ = last term = 0
Substitute the data,
0 = 88 + (n - 1) × -4
88 - 4n + 4 = 0
92 - 4n = 0
4n = 92
n = 92/4
n = 23
Hence the 23rd term of the A.P is 0.
Verification:
aₙ = 88 + (23 - 1) × -4
aₙ = 88 + 22 × -4
aₙ = 88 - 88
aₙ = 0
Hence verified.
