My way
1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31 34 37 40 43 46 49 50 47 44 41 38 35 32 29 26 23 20 17 14 11 8 5 2 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36 39 42 45 48 From the above sequence you can get all the answers. Though its not the right way of attempting the Qs. Just to make things easier I wrote it. 20th term is 44 Last Qs he answers is 48 (ok the answer is wrong) 3 times he reverses his direction you should attempt the Qs like a=1 and d=3 and max value possible is 50 so 17th term ll be 49 and after that it ll reverse the direction from number 50 then 20th term is 44 similarly you can answer ii and iii bit
