Answer

In the sequence :

3525=255=53\sqrt{5} - 2\sqrt{5} = 2\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{5} = \sqrt{5}.

Since, the difference between consecutive terms are equal, thus the sequence is an A.P.

First term (a) = 5\sqrt{5}

Common difference (d) = 5\sqrt{5}

We know that,

an=a+(n1)da100=5+(1001)×5a100=5+995a100=1005.\Rightarrow an = a + (n - 1)d \\[1em] \Rightarrow a{100} = \sqrt{5} + (100 - 1) \times \sqrt{5} \\[1em] \Rightarrow a{100} = \sqrt{5} + 99\sqrt{5} \\[1em] \Rightarrow a{100} = 100\sqrt{5}.
