The correct Answer is:
To find the 10th term from the end of the arithmetic progression (A.P.) given by the series 5, 9, 13, ..., 93, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term (a) and the common difference (d) The first term of the A.P. is: - \( a = 5 \) The common difference can be calculated as: - \( d = 9 - 5 = 4 \) ### Step 2: Identify the last term (l) The last term of the A.P. is: - \( l = 93 \) ### Step 3: Determine the number of terms (n) in the A.P. We can use the formula for the nth term of an A.P.: \[ l = a + (n-1)d \] Substituting the known values: \[ 93 = 5 + (n-1) \cdot 4 \] Now, simplify and solve for \( n \): \[ 93 - 5 = (n-1) \cdot 4 \] \[ 88 = (n-1) \cdot 4 \] \[ n - 1 = \frac{88}{4} \] \[ n - 1 = 22 \] \[ n = 23 \] ### Step 4: Find the 10th term from the end The 10th term from the end is the same as the \( (n - 10 + 1) \)th term from the beginning: \[ \text{Position from the start} = n - 10 + 1 = 23 - 10 + 1 = 14 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the 14th term Using the formula for the nth term: \[ T_n = a + (n-1)d \] Substituting \( n = 14 \): \[ T_{14} = 5 + (14 - 1) \cdot 4 \] \[ T_{14} = 5 + 13 \cdot 4 \] \[ T_{14} = 5 + 52 \] \[ T_{14} = 57 \] ### Final Answer The 10th term from the end of the A.P. is \( 57 \). ---
