An AP consists of 50 terms of which the third term is 12 and the last term is 106. Find the 29th term.


___
Options:
Answer: Option A
:

It is also given that a3=12  and a50=106      
Using formula an=a+(n1)d to find nth term of AP, we get
a50=a+(501)d106=a+49d(1)  
a3=a+(31)d12=a+2d(2)
Subtracting (1) and (2), we get,
47d=94
d=2
Substituting d in (2), we get,
a+2(2)=12
a=124=8


The 29th term is,
a29=a+(291)d=8+28(2)=8+56=64
