The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to show that the given sequence defined by the nth term \( T_n = 2n + 3 \) is an arithmetic progression (A.P.) and then find the 10th term of the sequence. ### Step 1: Define the nth term The nth term of the progression is given as: \[ T_n = 2n + 3 \] ### Step 2: Find the (n-1)th term To show that the sequence is an A.P., we need to find the (n-1)th term: \[ T_{n-1} = 2(n-1) + 3 \] Calculating this gives: \[ T_{n-1} = 2n - 2 + 3 = 2n + 1 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the difference between consecutive terms Now, we calculate the difference between the nth term and the (n-1)th term: \[ T_n - T_{n-1} = (2n + 3) - (2n + 1) \] Simplifying this expression: \[ T_n - T_{n-1} = 2n + 3 - 2n - 1 = 2 \] ### Step 4: Conclusion about the A.P. Since the difference \( T_n - T_{n-1} = 2 \) is constant (does not depend on n), we can conclude that the sequence is indeed an arithmetic progression (A.P.). ### Step 5: Find the 10th term To find the 10th term, we substitute \( n = 10 \) into the nth term formula: \[ T_{10} = 2(10) + 3 \] Calculating this gives: \[ T_{10} = 20 + 3 = 23 \] ### Final Answer The 10th term of the progression is: \[ \boxed{23} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we need to show that the given sequence defined by the nth term \( T_n = 2n + 3 \) is an arithmetic progression (A.P.) and then find the 10th term of the sequence. ### Step 1: Define the nth term The nth term of the progression is given as: \[ T_n = 2n + 3 \] ...
