an= 80. , a+(n-1)d=80, 2+(n-1)-2=80, 2+(n-1)=82, n-1=80, n=81. This means 81th term is 80. Now put an=102 a+(n-1)d =102, 2+(n-1)-2= 102, 2+(n-1)=104, n-1=102, n=103, This means 103rd term is 102.

dikshaverma4you: But a is 2 not -2 and if keeping n=2 and d=-2 then n is coming to be negative which is not possible.
dikshaverma4you: These values are acc. to ques. 
dikshaverma4you: So what to do
Hrithik111: hw u can say that a is 2. u r nt getting me
dikshaverma4you: Oh.k oh.k u tell me 
dikshaverma4you: Then I'll tell u hw I have taken a as 2
dikshaverma4you: By d way how u have taken a as -2
Hrithik111: I think that u believe in answer. Try to understand d que. As it is written 2,0,2,.... Then a=-2 such that -2+2=0, 0+2=2,2+2=4. Understood
dikshaverma4you: Sorry.... But m nt able to understand. Sorry
Hrithik111: its okk

Here, a= -2,d=2 and n=?
therefore, an = a+( n-1)d
or 80= -2+(n-1)2
or (n-1)2=80+2
or n-1=82÷2
or n=41+1
or n= 42
Also,
102= -2+(n-1)2
or (n-1)2=104
or n-1=52
or n=53
Hence,42,53

Hrithik111: if helpful like it
dikshaverma4you: Its wrong. a is 2 not -2 and d is -2 not 2. U have written opposite values
Hrithik111: No way . if d is -2 then 4-(-2)=4+2=6. Understood .
