vikas askiitian expertApproved Tutor Answer15 Years agofirst term of this AP series is 1 , so a =1 now nth term(Tn) = a+(n-1)d (d is common ration of this series) 4th term of AMs means 5th term of AP ...so T5 = a+4d = 1+ 4d 7th term of AMs means 8th term of AP ...so T8 = a+7d = 1+7d ratio is given = 3/5 1+4d/1+7d = 3/5 5+20d = 3+21d d = 2 now ,let there are n terms in this Ap then a + (n-1) = 51 1 + (n-1)2 = 51 or n = 26 approve my ans if u like it
Aahaana8 Years agoThere are n+2 terms in the AP because we’re also including 1 and 51 so the last step is wrong.It should be 1 + (n+1)d = 51 so n = 24
