In the AP (73,65,57,\ldots), which is the first term less than (-80)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (-87)

For this AP, the first term is \(a=73\) and the common difference is \(d=65-73=-8\). Thus, \(a_n=73-8(n-1)\). Here \(a_{20}=-79\), which is greater than \((-80)\), while the next term \(a_{21}=-87\) is less than \((-80)\). Therefore, the first such term is \((-87)\). Exam tip: In a decreasing AP, check the two consecutive terms around the given boundary to identify the first required term.
