Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The no. of seats in each row are as follows 20, 24, 28, .........

The no. of seats in each row form an A.P. with

First term (a) = 20

Difference between the no. of seats in two successive rows (d) = 4

Total no. of rows (n) = 30

Total no. of seats in 30 rows (S30) = ?

Sn = n/2[2a + (n – 1) d]

∴ S30 = 30/2 [2 (20) + (30 – 1) 4]

∴ S30 = 15 [40 + 116]

∴ S30 = 15 (156)

∴ S30 = 2340

∴ Total no. of seats in the meeting hall is 2340.
