  1. Here, a = 121 and d = 117 – 121 = – 4.
    Let, a_n be the first negative term of this AP.
    ⇒ a_n < 0
    ⇒ a + (n – 1)d < 0
    ⇒ 121 + (n -1)(-4) < 0
    ⇒ 121 – 4n + 4 < 0
    ⇒ 125 125/4
    ⇒ n > 31.25
    ⇒ n = 32
    Hence, 32nd term of the AP: 121, 117, 113 … is its first negative term.
