In the given AP, first term, a = 3 and 

common difference, a = (8 - 3) = 5.

Let’s its nth term be 88

Then, Tn = 88

\(\Rightarrow\) a + (n - 1) d = 88

\(\Rightarrow\) 3 + (n - 1) x 5 = 88

\(\Rightarrow\) 5n - 2 = 88

\(\Rightarrow\) 5n = 90

\(\Rightarrow\) n = 18

Hence, the 18th term of the given AP is 88.
