How many terms are there in the series 199,208,217,…,406?
- A22
- B24
- C19
- D17
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The given series is an Arithmetic Progression (AP):
First term (a) = 199
Common difference (d) = 208−199=9
Last term (a
n
) = 406
The formula for the n-th term of an AP is:
a
n
=a+(n−1)d
Substitute the known values into the equation:
406=199+(n−1)×9
406−199=9(n−1)
207=9(n−1)
n−1=
9
207
n−1=23
n=24
Thus, there are 24 terms in the series.
