Only (i) Explanation: (i) If three numbers in an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) are (a − d), a, and ( a + d), their sum is (a − d) + a + (a + d) = 3a. If 3a = 90, then the middle term a must be 30. (ii) The formula for the nth term from the end of an A.P.is l − (n − 1)d, where l is the last term and d is the common difference.
