Question 82
The first and last terms of an arithmetic progression are 37 and -18. If the sum of the series is 114, then it has how many terms?
Solution
In an arithmetic progression with first term, $$a = 37$$ , last term, $$l = -18$$
Let number of terms = $$n$$
$$\therefore$$ Sum of A.P. = $$\frac{n}{2} (a + l) = 114$$
=> $$\frac{n}{2} (37 - 18) = 114$$
=> $$19n = 114 \times 2 = 228$$
=> $$n = \frac{228}{19} = 12$$
=> Ans - (B)
