S₁₀ = 175
Given :
a₁₃ is 4 times a₃
a₅ = 16
To find :
The value of S₁₀
Formula Used :
1. The nth term of an AP is
aₙ = a + (n - 1 )d.
a = first term
aₙ = nth term
d = common difference.
2. Sum of first n terms of an arithmetic progression
Where First term = a
Common Difference = d
Solution :
Step 1 of 2 :
Form the equation to find first term and common difference
Let first term = a and common difference = d
a₁₃ = a + 12d
a₃ = a + 2d
a₅ = a + 4d
Now , a₁₃ is 4 times a₃
∴ a + 12d = 4(a + 2d)
⇒ a + 12d = 4a + 8d
⇒ 4d = 3a - - - - - (1)
a₅ = 16 gives
a + 4d = 16 - - - - - (2)
Step 2 of 2 :
Calculate first term and common difference
From Equation 1 and Equation 2 we get
a + 3a = 16
⇒ 4a = 16
⇒ a = 4
From Equation 2 we get
4 + 4d = 16
⇒ 4d = 12
⇒ d = 3
Step 3 of 3 :
Calculate the value of S₁₀
S₁₀
= Sum of first 10 terms
