Detailed Solution

a₁₁ = 38

a + (11 - 1) d = 38

a + 10d = 38 ...(1)

a₁₆ = 73

a + 15d = 73 ...(2)

Solving 1 and 2

a + 15d - ( a + 10d ) = 73 - 38

5d = 35

d = 7

Substitute d in equation (1),

a + 10(7) = 38

a = 38 - 70

= - 32

 a₃₁ = a + (31 - 1)d

= - 32 + 30 × 7

= - 32 + 210

= 178

Therefore, 

31st term of the AP is 178.
