Explanation:
The nth term of the AP is .
The nth term of an AP is given by the formula , where a is the first term ,d is the common difference.
Therefore , 15th term of an AP is 3 more than twice the 7th term of the AP
a - 2d = -3 (Equation 1)
Now,
10th term of the AP is 41
a + 9d = 41 (Equation 2)
On subtracting equation 2 from equation 1 , we get
d = 4
Now substituting the value of d in equation 1, we get
a = 5
Therefore, the nth term of the AP becomes
