Answer

Since, 7 - 4 = 3, 10 - 7 = 3 and 13 - 10 = 3.

Hence, the series is an A.P. with common difference = 3 and last term = 148.

nth term of an A.P. is given by,

an = a + (n - 1)d

⇒ 148 = 4 + (n - 1)3

⇒ 148 = 4 + 3n - 3

⇒ 148 = 3n + 1

⇒ 148 - 1 = 3n

⇒ 3n = 147

⇒ n = 49.

Hence, no. terms in the series = 49.
