Answer -
Given that,
3rd term, a3 =12
50th term, a50 =106
We know that,
an = a+(n−1)d
a3 = a+(3−1)d
12 = a+2d ……………………………. (i)
In the same way,
a50 = a+(50−1)d
106 = a+49d …………………………. (ii)
On subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get
94 = 47d
d = 2 = commondifference
From equation (i), we can write now,
12 = a+2(2)
a = 12−4 = 8
a29 = a+(29−1) d
a29 = 8+(28)2
a29 = 8+56 = 64
Therefore, 29th term is 64.
