Answer:

62

Step-by-step explanation:

Sn=1/2(3n^2+7n)

S1=1/2(3+7)=5

S2=1/2(3*4+7*2)=26/2=13

We know

S1=a1=5

S2=a1+a2=13

S2-s1=a1+a2-a1

13-5=a2

a2=8

We know d=a2-a1

d=8-5=3

nth term of AP =an=5+(n-1)3

an= 2+3n

Therefore 20th term =

a20= 2+3(20)=62

Hence 20th term of AP is 62

I hope this helps
