8. Sequences and Series
normal
The number of terms common between the two series $2 + 5 + 8 +.....$ upto $50$ terms and the series $3 + 5 + 7 + 9.....$ upto $60$ terms, is
A
$18$
B
$20$
C
$22$
D
$24$
Solution
$2,5,8,11,14,17 \ldots \ldots \ldots .150$
$3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17, \ldots \ldots \ldots 121$
common series $5,11,17, \ldots \ldots \ldots$
$\therefore \mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{n}}=5+(\mathrm{n}-1) 6=6 \mathrm{n}-1$
$\Rightarrow 6 n \leq 122$ $n \leq \frac{122}{6}$
$n \leq 20.2$ $\therefore \mathrm{n}=20$
