Which is the (20)th term of the AP (3,8,13,18,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (98)

The direct answer is option A: the 20th term is 98. In an AP, the nth term is given by an = a + (n − 1)d. Here the first term is a = 3, and the common difference is d = 8 − 3 = 5. For n = 20, a20 = 3 + (20 − 1)5 = 3 + 19 × 5 = 3 + 95 = 98. Option A is correct. Option B, 95, is only the product 19 × 5 and forgets the first term. Option C, 103, comes from adding an incorrect amount or using too many differences. Option D, 100, does not follow the AP formula and is not obtained by counting the 19 equal jumps correctly. There are 19 gaps from the first term to the 20th term, not 20. Exam cue: always use n − 1, not n, in the nth-term formula.
