Question
Find the sum of the following APs:
2, 7, 12, ..., to 10 terms.
Solution
2, 7, 12, …, to 10 terms
For this A.P.,
a = 2
d = a2 − a1
d = 7 − 2
d = 5
n = 10
We know that,
Sn = `n/2 [2a + (n - 1) d]`
S10 = `10/2 [2(2) + (10 - 1) × 5]`
= 5[4 + (9) × (5)]
= 5 × 49
= 245
Thus, the sum of first 10 terms is 245.
