Detailed Solution

Case A:→ a1=4, d=3
nth term=a+(n-1)d       (∵ formula of the nth term)
               =4+(n-1)3
               =4+3n-3                =1+3n         — (|)
Case A:→ a1=-8, d=5
Formula of the nth term,
nth term=a+(n-1)d
               =-8+(n-1)5
               =-8+5n-5                =-13+5n      — (||)
From (|) and (||), we can see that nth for A and B respectively is 1+3n and -13+5n.
