The correct Answer is:
To find the 10th term from the end of the arithmetic progression (A.P.) 4, 9, 14, ..., 254, 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: \[ a = 4 \] The common difference (d) can be calculated as: \[ d = 9 - 4 = 5 \] ### Step 2: Identify the last term (l) The last term of the A.P. is given as: \[ l = 254 \] ### Step 3: Find the number of terms (n) in the A.P. To find the number of terms in the A.P., we can use the formula for the nth term of an A.P.: \[ l = a + (n - 1) \cdot d \] Substituting the known values: \[ 254 = 4 + (n - 1) \cdot 5 \] Now, simplify the equation: \[ 254 - 4 = (n - 1) \cdot 5 \] \[ 250 = (n - 1) \cdot 5 \] Now, divide both sides by 5: \[ n - 1 = 50 \] So, \[ n = 51 \] ### Step 4: Find the 10th term from the end The 10th term from the end can be found using the formula for the nth term: \[ A_k = a + (n - k) \cdot d \] where \( k \) is the position from the end. Here, \( k = 10 \): \[ A_{10} = a + (n - 10) \cdot d \] Substituting the values we found: \[ A_{10} = 4 + (51 - 10) \cdot 5 \] \[ A_{10} = 4 + 41 \cdot 5 \] \[ A_{10} = 4 + 205 \] \[ A_{10} = 209 \] ### Final Answer The 10th term from the end of the A.P. is: \[ \boxed{209} \]
