The series 3, 8, 13, 18, ... is an arithmetic progression.
In an AP the difference between two consecutive terms is constant. For the given series
it is 18 - 13 = 13 - 8 = 8 - 3 = 5
The nth term of an AP is
given by a + (n - 1)*d where the first term is a and the common difference is
d.
We have a = 3 and the common difference d =
5
The 20th term is 3 + 19*5 = 3 + 95 =
98
The required term of the given AP is
98.
