The sum of the first n terms of an AP is (3n2 + 5n). Which term of the AP is 152?
sum of first term=S1=a1
s1=3*12+5*1=3+5=8
s2=a1+a2
s2=3*22+5*2=3*4+10=12+10=22
so, a2=s2-s1
22-8=14
so ap is 8,14.......d=14-8=6
now an=152
an=a+(n-1)d
152=8+(n-1)6
152-8=(n-1)6
144/6=n-1
24=n-1
25=n
so 25th term
.Hope u got it!!!!
