    The 100th term of the sequence 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4,... is

    A) 12

    B) 13   

    C) 14

    D) 15

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{1}^{st}}terms\to 1,\,\,{{2}^{nd}}\,terms=2,\,\,{{4}^{th}}\,term\to 3,\] \[{{7}^{st}}terms\to 4,{{11}^{th}}terms\to 5,......\] Series is \[1,\,\,2,\,\,4,\,\,7,\,\,11,...\] \[{{a}_{n}}=1+\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=\frac{{{n}^{2}}-n+2}{2}\] If \[n=14,\] then \[{{a}_{n}}=92,\] If \[n=15,\] then \[{{a}_{n}}=106.\]
