Question 36 (iii) - Choice (B) Which term of the progressions will have the same value?We will find nth term for both APs and make them equal First AP by Aryan is –5, –2, 1, 4, …. Here, a = –5, d = 3 Now, nth term = a + (n – 1)d = (–5) + (n – 1) × 3 Second AP by Roshan is 187, 184, 181, …. Here, a = 187, d = –3 Now, nth term = a + (n – 1)d = 187 + (n – 1) × (–3) Since both terms of AP have same value, nth terms of both would be equal (–5) + (n – 1) × 3 = 187 + (n – 1) × (–3) –5 + 3n – 3 = 187 – 3n + 3 3n + 3n = 187 + 3 + 5 + 3 6n = 198 n = 198/6 n = 33 Thus, 33rd term of both AP will have same value
