    The given AP is 53, 48, 43,... with a common difference of -5. To find the first negative term, we set up the nth term formula and find the value of n when the term is less than 0. Through this, we determine that the 12th term is the first negative term, which is -2.

    Which term of the AP: 53, 48, 43,... is


    the first negative term

    Solution:

    It is given that

    AP: 53, 48, 43,…

    First term (a) = 53 and

    Common difference (d) = 48 - 53 = -5

    Consider the nth term of the AP as the first


    negative term.

    i.e., Tn < 0

    We know that the nth term of an AP,

    Tn = a + (n - 1)d

    Here

    [a + (n - 1 )d] < 0

    Substituting the values

    53 + (n - 1)(-5) < 0

    53 - 5n + 5 < 0

    So we get

    58 - 5n < 0

    5n > 58

    n > 11.6

    n = 12

    So the 12th term is the first negative term of


    the given AP

    T12 = a + (12 - 1)d

    = 53 + 11 (-5)

    = 53 - 55

    =-2<0

    Therefore, the first negative term is the 12th


    term.
