Given, n= 57 a₇ =13 = a+6d → (1) a₅₇ = 108 = a+56d → (2) a₄₅ = a+44d we know the formula for nth term is, an = a+(n-1)d a = first term d = common diff n= no. of terms subtracting (1) and (2) we get, a+56d = 108 a+6d = 13 ⇒ d = 1.9
Substituting the value of d in 1, a+6*1.9 =13 ⇒ a = 1.6
∴45th term = a+44d ⇒1.6+(44*1.9) = 85.2 on rounding off 85

n= 57
a₇ =13 = a+6d → (1)
a₅₇ = 108 = a+56d → (2)
a₄₅ = a+44d
we know the formula for nth term is,
an = a+(n-1)d
a = first term
d = common diff
n= no. of terms
subtracting (1) and (2) we get,
a+56d = 108
a+6d = 13
⇒ d = 1.9
Substituting the value of d in 1,
a+6*1.9 =13
⇒ a = 1.6
∴45th term = a+44d
⇒1.6+(44*1.9) = 85.2
on rounding off 85
hope it helps.... :)
