The 7th term of the A.P. \frac{1}{a},\left(\frac{1}{a}+1\right),\left(\frac{1}{a}+2\right),\ldots is:
(a) \frac{1}{a}+6
(b) \frac{1}{a}+7
(c) \frac{1}{a}+8
(d) \frac{1}{a}+77
Exam-ready answer • 01 Mark
✓Answer
(a) \frac{1}{a}+6
Explanation:
First term = \frac{1}{a}
Common difference = 1
The nth term of an A.P. is:
Tₙ = first term + (n − 1) × common difference
For n = 7:
T₇ = \frac{1}{a} + (7 − 1) × 1
⇒ T₇ = \frac{1}{a} + 6
