    Find the 20th term of the HP \[-2,6,\frac{6}{5},\frac{2}{3},.....\]

    A)  \[\frac{3}{13}\]                        

    B)  \[\frac{6}{73}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{87}\]                        

    D)  \[\frac{6}{97}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b): Terms in A.P. are: \[-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{6},\frac{5}{6},\frac{3}{2},........\] \[\therefore \]\[a=-\frac{1}{2};\]   \[d=\frac{1}{6}-\left( -\frac{1}{2} \right)=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{2}={}^{2}/{}_{3}\] \[\frac{1}{{{T}_{20}}}=-\frac{1}{2}+(20-1)\times \frac{2}{3}=-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{38}{3}=\frac{-3+76}{6}=\frac{73}{6}\]                      \[\therefore {{T}_{20}}=\frac{6}{73}\]
