MENTAL MATH ANSWER FOR MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST:
and so the common difference is .
Starting from the 51st term, to get to the next (52nd) term you have to add once.
If you add two times you get to the 53rd term, the term that's 2 terms after the 51st term.
132 � 12 = 11 <---> ,
so adding 132 to the 51st term is adding 12 to the 51st 11 times,
and that gets you the value of the the term number
