Per NCERT, the AP 21, 18, 15, ... has common difference −3. Which term is −81?
AThe 28th term
BThe 30th term
CThe 35th term (since 21 + (n−1)(−3) = −81 → n−1 = 34 → n = 35)
D−81 is not a term
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The 35th term (since 21 + (n−1)(−3) = −81 → n−1 = 34 → n = 35)
Per NCERT Exercise 8.2.2, a = 21, d = −3, set 21 + (n−1)(−3) = −81 → (n−1)(−3) = −102 → n − 1 = 34 → n = 35.
