Question:

Which term of the A.P. 3, 7, 11. ...... 147 is its middle term?

Options:

18th

19th

20th

21st

Correct Answer:

19th

Explanation:

Given AP 3, 7, 11. ...... 147

a= 3

d= 4

an = 147

an = a+(n-1)d

147 = 3 + (n-1)*4

144/4 = 36 = n-1

n = 37

middle term (in case of odd terms) = (n+1)/2 = 19th term

The correct answer is Option (2) → 19th
