Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(53\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1^{\text {st }} \text { term }=100=a\) Last term \(=199=\ell\) If \(3\) term \(a, a+d, a+2 d\) \(a _{ a }=\ell= a +( n -1) d\) \(d _{ i }=\frac{\ell- a }{ n - l }\) \(n \rightarrow\) number of terms \(n =3, d _{1}=\frac{199-100}{2}\) \(=\frac{99}{2} \notin I\)…
