How many terms of the A.P. 27, 24, 21, .... should be taken so that their sum is zero?
उत्तर
The given AP is 27, 24, 21, ..
First term of the AP = 27
Common difference = 24 − 27 = −3
Let the sum of the first x terms of the AP be 0.
Sum of first x terms = `x/2`[2×27+(x−1)(−3)]=0
⇒`x/2`[54+(−3x+3)]=0
⇒x(54−3x+3)=0
⇒x(57−3x)=0
Now, either x = 0 or 57 − 3x = 0.
Since the number of terms cannot be 0, x≠0.
∴ 57 − 3x = 0
⇒ 57 = 3x
⇒ x = 19
Thus, the sum of the first 19 terms of the AP is 0.
