MCQ

Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
The $21^{\text {st }}$ term of the $AP$ whose first two terms are $-3$ and $4$ is:

A
$17$
✓
$137$
C
$143$
D
$-143$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$137$

Main concept used: $a_n=a+(n-1) d$
Here, $a=a_1=-3, a_2=4$
$\therefore d=a_2-a_1=4-(-3)=4+3=7$
Hence, $d=7$
Now, $a_n=a+(n-1) d$
$\Rightarrow a_{21}=-3+(21-1) \times 7$
$\Rightarrow a_{21}=-3+20 \times 7$
$\Rightarrow a_{21}=-3+140$
$\Rightarrow a_{21}=137$
