Sol:
\(A_n=A_1+(n-1)d\)
where,
\(A_n=\) \(n^{th}\) term in a sequence
\(A_1=\) \(1^{st}\) term in a sequence
\(d=\)Common difference between two consecutive terms in a sequence
\(3^{rd}\) term in a sequence is \(25\)
\(25=A_1+(3-1)d\)
\(25=A_1+2d\) -----------1
\(10^{th}\) term in a sequence is \(-3\)
\(-3=A_1+(10-1)d\)
\(-3=A_1+9d\) -----------2
Solving equations 1 and 2:
\(A_1+2d=25\)
\(A_1+9d=-3\)
\(A_1=33\)
\(d=-4\)
\(A_{87}=A_1+(n-1)d = 33+(87-1)*(-4)=33-344=-311\)
Ans: "C"

T3 = 25
T10 = -3
T10 - T3 = -28 = -7*4
So for a difference of 7, the value is 7 * -4
So for a difference of 77, multiply by 77 * -4 = -308
T87 = -308 - 3 = -311
Answer - C
T10 = -3
T10 - T3 = -28 = -7*4
