Answer

In the above A.P. next terms is the 5th term.

a = 3\sqrt{3}

n = 5

d=123d=4×33d=233d=3.\Rightarrow d = \sqrt{12} - \sqrt{3} \\[1em] \Rightarrow d = \sqrt{4 \times 3} - \sqrt3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow d = 2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow d = \sqrt3.

We know that,

nth term of A.P. :

∴ Tn = a + (n - 1)d

T5=3+(51)3=3+43=53=52×3=75.\Rightarrow T_5 = \sqrt3 + (5 - 1)\sqrt3 \\[1em] = \sqrt3 + 4\sqrt3 \\[1em] = 5\sqrt3 \\[1em] = \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \\[1em] = \sqrt{75}.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
