What is the nth term formula for an AP?

Answer: a + (n-1)d.

  • A a + nd
  • B a + (n+1)d
  • C a + (n-1)d
  • D n × a

Correct answer: C. a + (n-1)d

Explanation: nth term of AP: an = a + (n-1)d, where a is first term and d is common difference.

Each bar grows by the common difference d=3a1=2a2=5a3=8a4=11d=3

Bar heights for AP 2, 5, 8, 11 with the common difference d=3 marked between consecutive terms.
