Answer
the sum of the 10 terms of the
given AP is 245.
Complete step by step solution:
We are given that the A.P.2, 7, 12,....
We know that the arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers in order in which the difference of any two consecutive numbers is a constant value. We will now find the first term a and the
second term b of the given
a = 2
second term=7
Subtracting the second term from the first
term to find the common difference of the given A.P., we get
⇒d 7-2 ⇒d=5
We will use the formula of sum of n terms of the arithmetic progression A.P., that is, Sn = (2a + (n − 1) d), where a is the first term and d is the common difference,
We know that n = 10.
Substituting these values of n, a in the above formula for the sum of the
arithmetic progression, we get
10
⇒ S10 = (2 (2) + (10-1) 5)
2
→S10=5(4+9 (5))
S10 = 5(4+45) ⇒ S10 = 5 (49)
→ S10 = 245
Thus, the sum of the 10 terms of the
given AP is 245.
