A,AB,ABC,ABCD,ABCDE,…………find 30th term

6 x 7
= 21
2
7 x 8
= 28 28 term is 7th letter of alphabet
2 i.e. ABCDEFG

28, 29, 30
8 x 9
= 36
G, A, B
2

So 30th term is B
A,AB,ABC,ABCD,ABCDE,…………find 50th term

9 x 10
= 45
2
10 x 11
= 55 45 term is 9th letter of alphabet
2 i.e. ABCDEFGHI

45, 46,47,48,49,50
I, A, B, C, D, E

So 50th term is E
Find the 70th term in the sequence A, AB, ABC, ABCD,…
A, AB, ABC, ABCD,…..
A, AB, ABC, ABCD, ………K, ABCD
70th term is D 11 x 12
66
2
12 x 13
78
2
66th term comes for n = 11 so 66th term is K
K is 11th letter of alphabet
Find the 58th term in the sequence A, BB, CCC, DDDD,…
A, BB, CCC, DDDD,…..
A, BB, CCC, DDDD, ………J, KKK
58th term is K 10 x 11
55
2
11 x 12
66
2
55th term comes for n = 10 so 55th term is J
J is 10th letter of alphabet
aA,aAbB,aAbBcC,………52th term = ?
aA, aAbB, aAbBcC, …………
2, 4, 6,
n(n+1)
6 ( 6 + 1 ) = 6 x 7 = 42
6 = F so 42th term is F then

…….F, aAbBcCdDeE
52th term is E
aA,aAbB,aAbBcC,………80th term = ?
aA, aAbB, aAbBcC, …………
2, 4, 6,
n(n+1)
8 ( 8 + 1 ) = 8 x 9 = 72
8 = H so 72th term is H then

…….H, aAbBcCdD
80th
term is D
 A1,AB2,ABC3,………16th term = ?
A1, AB2, ABC3, …………
2, 3, 4,
n ( n + 1 )/2
5x6 30
15
2 2
Since First term starts with 2 digits so we take 14 th term and
14th term is 4

A1,AB2,ABC3,ABCD4,AB
16th term is B
 A1,AB2,ABC3,………50th term = ?
A1, AB2, ABC3, …………
2, 3, 4,
n ( n + 1 )/2
9 x 10 90
45
2 2
Since First term starts with 2 digits so we take 44 th term and
44th term is 8

A1,AB2,ABC3,……8,ABCDEF
50th term is F
