    Number of identical terms in the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11,..., 100 terms and 3, 5, 7, 9,..., 100terms are

    A)  17                                          

    B)  33

    C)  50                                          

    D)  47

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The common terms of the given series are 5, 11, 17, ? \[\therefore \] nth term of common sequence \[{{T}_{n}}=5+\,(n-1)\,6=6n-1\] Also, 100th term of the first sequence \[=2\,+(100-1)\,3=299\] and 100th term of the second sequence \[=3+(100-1)2=201\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{T}_{n}}\le 201\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[6n-1\le 201\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[n\le 33\frac{2}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[n=33\]
