In an AP, \(a_{11}=38\) and \(a_{26}=128\). Which term will be (218)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 41st

Using the two given terms, the common difference is \(d=\frac{128-38}{26-11}=\frac{90}{15}=6\). Now use \(a_n=a_{11}+(n-11)d\): \(218=38+(n-11)\times6\). Thus, \(180=6(n-11)\), so \(n-11=30\) and \(n=41\). Hence, 218 is the 41st term. The 40th term is \(212\), so it is a close but incorrect option. Exam tip: When two terms are given, first find \(d\) using the difference in their term numbers.
