Find the sum of 28 terms of an A.P. whose nth term is 8n – 5.

योग

उत्तर

nth term of an A.P. = tn = 8n – 5

Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of this A.P.

Then,

a = t1

= 8 × 1 – 5

= 8 – 5

= 3

t2 = 8 × 2 – 5

= 16 – 5

= 11

∴ d = t2 – t1

= 11 – 3

= 8

The sum of n terms of an A.P. = `S = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d]`

`=>` Sum of 28 terms of an A.P. = `28/2 [2 xx 3 + 27 xx 8]`

= 14[6 + 216]

= 14 × 222

= 3108
