Detailed Solution

Given arithmetic progression (AP) is 20, 30, 40, ……... 100.
Here,
Nth term, Tn=100
First term, a=20
Common difference, d = 10
Thus, nth term of AP is,
Tn=a+(n-1)d
100=20+(n-1)10
100=20+10n-10
100=10+10n
100-10=10n
90=10n
n=9010
n=9
So, the sequence number will be 100 for the 9th term.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
