Let nth term of the given AP be the first negative term.

 


AP = 24 , 21 , 18

 

Here,

 

First term ( a ) = 24

 

Commmon difference ( d ) = 21-24 = -4.
Then , Tn <0=> { a + ( n - 1 ) × d } <0
=> { 24 + ( n - 1 ) × -3 } <0

=> 27 - 3n <0

=> 27 < 3n

=> 3n > 27

=> n = 9.

n = 10

Hence,

The 10th term is the first negative term of the given AP.
