    Which term of the series \[3+8+13+18+....\] is 498:

    A)  95th                                     

    B)  100th   

    C)         102th                   

    D)         101th

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: If the difference of the consecutive terms is constant, then the series is in AP. Given series is \[3\text{ }+\text{ }8\text{ }+\text{ }13\text{ }+\text{ }18\text{ }+....+\text{ }498\] Here,   \[a=3,\,d=5,\,\,l=498\] As we know \[{{t}_{n}}=l=a+(n-1)d\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[498=3+(n-1)\,5\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[(n-1)=\frac{495}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n-1=99\Rightarrow n=100\]
