Here the given AP is : 21,18,15,--------
Here a=21 and d=18-21=-3,an=-81
{tex}\mathrm{We}\;\mathrm{know}\;\mathrm{that}\;{\mathrm a}_{\mathrm n}=\mathrm a+(\mathrm n-1)\mathrm d{/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} -81=21+(n-1)(-3)
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} -81=21-3n+3

3n = 81+21+3=105
So  n = {tex}\frac{105}{3}{/tex} = 35
So, -81 is the 35th term of this AP
