Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
$$\eqalign{
& {T_2} = a + d = 8\,.......\,\left( 1 \right) \cr
& {T_6} = a + 5d = 20\,......\,\left( 2 \right) \cr
& {\text{on solving}}\left( 1 \right)\,{\text{and}}\,\left( 2 \right) \cr
& d = 3\,\& \,a = 5 \cr
& {T_{20}} = a + 19d \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 5 + 19\left( 3 \right) \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 62 \cr} $$
