The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the given progression is an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) and to find its 10th term, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the nth term The nth term of the progression is given as: \[ a_n = 2n + 3 \] ### Step 2: Find the (n-1)th term To find the (n-1)th term, we substitute \( n-1 \) into the formula: \[ a_{n-1} = 2(n-1) + 3 \] \[ a_{n-1} = 2n - 2 + 3 \] \[ a_{n-1} = 2n + 1 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the common difference The common difference \( d \) of an A.P. is defined as: \[ d = a_n - a_{n-1} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ d = (2n + 3) - (2n + 1) \] \[ d = 2n + 3 - 2n - 1 \] \[ d = 2 \] Since the common difference \( d \) is a constant (2), we can conclude that the sequence is indeed an A.P. ### Step 4: Find the 10th term To find the 10th term, we substitute \( n = 10 \) into the nth term formula: \[ a_{10} = 2(10) + 3 \] \[ a_{10} = 20 + 3 \] \[ a_{10} = 23 \] ### Conclusion The sequence defined by the nth term \( 2n + 3 \) is an Arithmetic Progression, and the 10th term of this progression is: \[ \boxed{23} \] ---
