(A) The sum of $n$ terms of an $A.P.$ is given by the formula $S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a + l)$,where $a$ is the first term and $l$ is the last term.Given values are $a = 2$,$n = 8$,and $S_8 = 72$.Substituting these values into the formula:$72 = \frac{8}{2}(2 + l)$$72 = 4(2 + l)$Dividing both sides by $4$:$18 = 2 + l$$l = 18 - 2$$l = 16$Therefore,the last term $l$ is $16$.

For a given finite $A.P.$,$a=2, n=8$ and $S_{8}=72$. Then,$l=........$
