Solution
Given:
- • Each of the even-numbered terms in a certain sequence is formed by multiplying the preceding term by –1
• Each of the odd-numbered terms in the sequence is formed by adding 3 to the preceding term
• First term in the sequence is 3
To find:
- • The value of the 168th term
Approach and Working:
- • 1st term = 3
• 2nd term = 3 * (-1) = -3
• 3rd term = -3 + 3 = 0
• 4th term = 0 * (-1) = 0
• 5th term = 0 + 3 = 3
• 6th term = 3 * (-1) = -3
• 7th term = -3 + 3 = 0
• 8th term = 0 * (-1) = 0
We can see, every 4th term in the series is getting a value of 0
- • Therefore, the 168th term (4 * 42) will also be equal to 0
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Term 1 = 3
Term 2 = -1*(3) = -3
Term 3 = 0
Term 4 = -1*(0) = 0
Term 5 = 3 + 0 = 3
So the series repeat on multiples of 5. Therefore 165th term will be = 3.
From above:
166th Term = -3
167th Term = 0
168th Term = 0
Therefore option C
Term 2 = -1*(3) = -3
Term 3 = 0
Term 4 = -1*(0) = 0
Term 5 = 3 + 0 = 3
So the series repeat on multiples of 5. Therefore 165th term will be = 3.
From above:
166th Term = -3
167th Term = 0
168th Term = 0
Therefore option C
