Find the 11th term of the AP (-8, -3, 2, 7, ...).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 42

For an arithmetic progression, the nth term is a_n = a + (n - 1)d. Here the first term is a = -8, and the common difference is d = -3 - (-8) = 5; the later pairs confirm the same difference. Therefore a_11 = -8 + (11 - 1) × 5 = -8 + 50 = 42. Thus option B is correct. The negative first term must be retained during the calculation; it is not changed to a positive 8. Option A would result from an incorrect number of jumps or an arithmetic error, while options C and D are larger than the value produced by the ten required differences. The formula works without modification even when the initial term is negative.
