प्रश्न

An arithmetic progression 5, 12, 19, …. has 50 terms. Find its last term. Hence find the sum of its last 15 terms.

उत्तर

5, 12, 19, …………50 terms
Common difference, d = 7
First term, a = 5

Last term, t50 = a + (50 – 1)d = 5 + (50 – 1) × 7 = 5 + 49 × 7 = 5 + 343 = 348

Sum of last 15 terms = S50 – S35

`=50/2[2xx5+[50-1]xx7]-35/2[2xx5+[35-1]xx7]`

`=25[10+343]-35/2[10+34xx7]`

`=25xx353-35/2xx248`

=8825-4340

=4485

The sum of last 15 terms = 4485.
