What is the (8)th term in the AP (72,66,60,54,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 30

For this AP, the first term is \(a=72\) and the common difference is \(d=66-72=-6\). The \(n\)th term is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Hence, \(a_8=72+(8-1)(-6)=72-42=30\). Therefore, 30 is correct. The number 36 is the sixth term, not the eighth term. Exam tip: use the common difference \(n-1\) times to find the \(n\)th term.
