- 2,5,8,11..........60th terms common diff=3, 60th term=179
3,5,7,9,11...........50th terms cd=2,50th term=101
common terms are like 5,11,17.....101
LCM of both series=2&3=6
since in common terms the numbers are 5,11,17........101
a=5,d=6,t=101 we have to find n
t=a+(n-1)d
101=5+(n-1)6 =>n=17 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
