If (a_1=5), (d=7), and (a_{2n+3}=159), what is the value of (n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10

The general term of an AP is \(a_r=a_1+(r-1)d\). Here, putting \(r=2n+3\), we get \(159=5+(2n+2)\times7\). Thus, \(154=14n+14\), so \(14n=140\) and \(n=10\). If 9 is used, the term would be 145, not 159. Exam tip: Substitute the complete expression \(2n+3\) for the index \(r\) in \(a_r\).
