Correct option is C
1. Given:
- Sequence: −1,−65,−32,…,310 .
- 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) = −65−(−1)=61 ,
- Last term (l) = 310
- The number of terms (n) in an AP is given by:
n=dl−a+1
3. Solution:
- Substitute the values into the formula:
n=61310−(−1)+1
- Simplify:
n=61310+1+1
n=61310+33+1
n=61313+1
n=313×6+1
n = 26 + 1 = 27
4. Answer:
Option C: 27 numbers
