B. 199
C. 203
D. 53

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. 199

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an Arithmetic sequence : 3, 7, 11, 15, ...

We are supposed to find the 50th term .

So, first consider the formula of nth term in Arithmetic mean:

[tex]a_{n} = a+(n-1)*d[/tex]

where

a is first term of sequence

n is term position

d is common difference

[tex]a_{n}[/tex]= the term you are supposed to find

Now,

a = 3 ( first term )

n = 50 th term ( given )

d = 7-3 = 11-7 = 4(common difference

Substitute these value in the formula given above

⇒[tex]a_{50} = 3+(50-1)*4[/tex]

⇒[tex]a_{50} = 3+(49)*4[/tex]

⇒[tex]a_{50} = 3+196[/tex]

⇒[tex]a_{50} = 199[/tex]

Hence ,The 50th term of given arithmetic sequence is 199

So, OPTION B is correct .
