In the AP (5,12,19,\ldots), what is the greatest term less than (150)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 145

Here, the first term is 5 and the common difference is 7. The nth term is \(a_n=5+7(n-1)=7n-2\). From \(7n-2<150\), we get \(n<\frac{152}{7}\), so the greatest integer value of \(n\) is 21. Hence, \(a_{21}=7(21)-2=145\). The numbers 146, 147, and 148 are not terms of this AP because they do not occur when starting from 5 and adding 7 each time. Exam tip: for “less than,” use a strict inequality, not equality.
