How many terms are there in the series 199,208,217,…,406?

  1. A
    22
  2. B
    24
  3. C
    19
  4. D
    17

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.
