Try with Hints

The given terms are $13$, $16$, $19$, $\dotsc$, $70$, $73$. We have to find out the numbers of terms.....

If you look very carefully then the distance between two digits is $3$.Therefore this is an Arithmetic Progression where the first term is $13$ and common difference is $3$

Can you now finish the problem ..........

$a+(n-1) d \Longrightarrow 13+(n-1) 3=73$

$\Rightarrow n=21$

The number of terms=$21$
