Question

In an Arithmetic Progression (AP), the common difference is 5. If the first term is 8, then the 7th term can be represented as:

Accepted Answer

The 7th term of an AP can be found using the formula $an = a + (n-1)d$, where $a$ is the first term, $d$ is the common difference, and $n$ is the term number. In this case, $a = 8$, $d = 5$, and $n = 7$. Plugging these values into the formula, we get $a7 = 8 + (7-1)5 = 8 + 6(5) = 8 + 30 = 38$. Therefore, the 7th term can be represented as $38$.
