In the infinite sequence 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, . . . , where each term is 4 greater than the previous term, the 46th term is

A. 183
B. 187
C. 191
D. 193
E. 197

It is in an AP. So t46= a+45d=13+180=193 IMO D

Solution


Given:
    • An infinite sequence 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, . . . , where each term is 4 greater than the previous term

To find:
    • The \(46^{th}\) term of the sequence

Approach and Working Out:
    • First term, a = 13
    • Common difference, d = 17 – 13 = 4
    • Therefore, \(t_{46}\) = a + (46 – 1) * d = 13 + 45 * 4 = 193

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

Answer: D

B. 187
C. 191
D. 193
E. 197

an = a + (n-1)*d
a= 13 ; d= 4 , n = 46
so
we get a46 = 13+(45)*4 ; 193
IMO D

Arithmetic progression formula => Tn = a + (n-1)d

=> n = 46
=> a = 13
=> d= 4

=> 13 + (46-1)*4 = 193
