Which term of an AP: 21, 42, 63, 84, … is 210?


Let nth term of the given AP be 210.


Here, first term, a = 21


and common difference, d = 42 – 21 = 21 and an = 210


As we know, nth term of an AP is


an = a + (n - 1)d


where a = first term


an is nth term


d is the common difference


210 = 21 + (n - 1)21


189 = (n - 1)21


n - 1 = 9


n = 10


So the 10th term of an AP is 210.
