a_1=8
a_2=a_1+d=8+d
a_3=a_2+d=(8+d)+d=8+2d
a_4=a_3+d=(8+d)+2d=8+3d
...
a_9=8+8d=48\implies d=5
a_{10}=8+9d
...
a_{23}=8+22d=118

Answer:

23rd term of A.P is 118.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the first and ninth term of the arithmetic sequence which is 8 and 48 respectively.

we have to find 23rd term of A.P

The recursive formula for A.P is

a_n=a+(n-1)d

a=8, a_9=48

Put n=9, we get

a_9=a+8d

48=8+8d

d=\frac{40}{8}=5

Now, twenty-third term is

a_{23}=a+22d=8+22(5)=118

Hence, 23rd term of A.P is 118.

Option 2 is correct
