प्रश्न

The 4th term of an A.P. is 22 and the 15th term is 66. Find the first terns and the common
difference. Hence find the sum of the series to 8 terms.

उत्तर

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

Now,

4th term = 22

⇒ a + 3d = 22 ...(i)

15th  term = 66

⇒ a + 14d = 66

 Subtracting (i) from (ii), we have

11d = 44

⇒ d = 4

Substituting the value of d in (1) we get

a = 22 - 3 x 4 = 22 - 12 =10

⇒ First term = 10

Now

Sum of 8 terms = `8/2[2xx10+7xx4]` = 4[20+28] = 4x48=192
