Question:
Find the 8th term from the end of the AP 7, 10, 13, ..., 184.
Solution:
Here, a = 7 and d = (10 - 7) = 3, l = 184 and n = 8th from the end.
Now, nth term from the end = [l - (n -1)d]
8th term from the end = [184 - (8 - 1) ⨯ 3]
= [184 - (7 ⨯ 3)] = (184 - 21) = 163
Hence, the 8th term from the end is 163.
