Problem : Find the value of k for which the given series
is in A.P. 4, k –1 , 12
they ?
5(n – 1) = 400
n – 1 = 400/5
n - 1 = 80
n = 80 + 1
n = 81
Hence the no. of terms are 81.
Let us solve some problems based on
Arithmatic Progression
Its formula is
Sn = ½ n [ 2a + (n - 1)d ]
Sn = ½ n [ a + an ]
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic progression
Sn = ½ n [ 2a + (n - 1)d ]
So Sn = ½ n [2a + (n – 1)d]
Problem 1. Find the sum of 30 terms of given A.P.
12 + 20 + 28 + 36………
= ½ x 30 [ 2x 12 + (30-1)x 8]
= 15 [ 24 + 29 x8]
= 15[24 + 232]
= 15 x 246
Problem 2. Find the sum given A.P.
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + ……………… + 200
