    Question

    How many numbers in the sequence
    -1, -5/6, -2/3, ……….. 10/3 ?

    A.

    25 numbers

    B.

    26 numbers

    C.

    27 numbers

    D.

    28 numbers

    Correct option is C

    1. Given:

    - Sequence: 1,56,23,,103-1, -\frac{5}{6}, -\frac{2}{3}, \dots, \frac{10}{3}​ .
    - Task: Determine how many numbers are in this sequence.

    2. Concept/Formula Used:

    - This is an **arithmetic progression (AP)** where:
    - First term (a) = -1 ,
    - Common difference (d) = 56(1)=16-\frac{5}{6} - (-1) = \frac{1}{6}​ ,
    - Last term (l) = 103\frac{10}{3}​ 
    - The number of terms (n) in an AP is given by:
    n=lad+1n = \frac{l - a}{d} + 1

    3. Solution:

    - Substitute the values into the formula:
    n=103(1)16+1n = \frac{\frac{10}{3} - (-1)}{\frac{1}{6}} + 1
    - Simplify:
    n=103+116+1n = \frac{\frac{10}{3} + 1}{\frac{1}{6}} + 1
    n=103+3316+1n = \frac{\frac{10}{3} + \frac{3}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}} + 1
    n=13316+1n = \frac{\frac{13}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}} + 1
    n=133×6+1n = \frac{13}{3} \times 6 + 1
    n = 26 + 1 = 27

    4. Answer:

    Option C: 27 numbers
