Find the 17th term from the end of the AP: 1, 6, 11, 16….. 211, 216


First term of given AP, a = 1


Last term, l = 216


Common difference of AP, a2 - a1 = 6 - 1 = 5


We know that, nth term from last of an AP is


an = l - (n - 1)d


where l is last term and d is common difference.


17th term from last,


a17 = 216 - (17 - 1)5


= 216 - 80


= 136
