The given A. P. is 3, 8, 13, 18, .....
Here, a = 3
d = 8 - 3 = 5
Let the nth term f=of the A. P. be 78
Then, an = = a + (n - 1)d
78 = 3 + (n - 1) 5
78 = 3 + 5n - 5
78= 5n - 2
5n = 78 + 2 = 80
n = 80/5 = 16
Hence, 16th term of the A .P. is 78.

Hello,
solution:
as we know that nth term of an AP is
Tn = a+(n-1)d
Here in given AP
a= 3
d= 5
78 = 3+(n-1)5
78-3 = (n-1)5
75/5=n-1
15 = n-1
n = 16
Sixteenth term is 78.
