The correct Answer is:
To find the number of terms in the sequence 95, 99, 103, 107, ..., 335, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term and common difference The first term (a) of the sequence is 95. The common difference (d) can be calculated as: \[ d = 99 - 95 = 4 \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression (AP) The formula for the nth term (T_n) of an arithmetic progression is given by: \[ T_n = a + (n - 1) \cdot d \] where: - \( T_n \) is the nth term, - \( a \) is the first term, - \( d \) is the common difference, - \( n \) is the number of terms. ### Step 3: Set the nth term equal to the last term In this case, the last term (T_n) is 335. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 335 = 95 + (n - 1) \cdot 4 \] ### Step 4: Solve for n Now, we will solve for n: 1. Subtract 95 from both sides: \[ 335 - 95 = (n - 1) \cdot 4 \] \[ 240 = (n - 1) \cdot 4 \] 2. Divide both sides by 4: \[ \frac{240}{4} = n - 1 \] \[ 60 = n - 1 \] 3. Add 1 to both sides: \[ n = 60 + 1 \] \[ n = 61 \] ### Conclusion The number of terms in the sequence is 61. ---
