Find the nth term Un of the A.P., 11, 4, -3,……. .
-
A.
Un=19+7n -
B.
Un=19-7n -
C.
Un=18+7n -
D.
Un= 18-7n -
E.
Un= 17-7n
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
A.P 11, 4, -3
1st term = 11
A.P = a, a + d, a + 2d …… a + (n – 1)d
If a = 11
a + d = 4
d = 4 – 11 = -7
nth term = a + (n-1)d
= 11 + (n-1)(-7)
= 11 – 7n + 7
= 18 – 7n
