The list of numbers between 9 and 95 that
leave a remainder 1 when divided by 3 is :10, 13, 16, ..........., 94.
The above sequence is an AP with first term,
a = 10 and common difference, d = 3
Let the number of terms in the above AP =
Now, an
= 94⇒a + (n−1)d
= 94⇒10 + (n−1)3
= 94⇒3(n−1)
= 28⇒n−1
n = 29
Since the number of terms in the above AP is
odd, so it has only one middle term.
Now, middle term
(n+12)th term
= (29+12)th term
= 15th term
Now, 15th term
= 15a = a + 14d
= 10 + 14×3
= 10+42
= 52
Now, we know that sum of first n terms of an
AP is given by,
Sn = n2[2a + (n−1)d]
So
,S14 = 142[2×10+(14−1)(3)]
= 7×59
= 413
Now,
S29 = 292[2×10+(29−1)(3)]
= 292×104
= 1508
Now, sum of last 14 terms
= S29 − [S14 + a15]
= 1508 − (413+52)
= 1508−465
= 1043
Sum of terms on the left side of middle term = S14
= 13Sum of terms on the right side of middle term
= sum of last 14 terms is 1043
leave a remainder 1 when divided by 3 is :10, 13, 16, ..........., 94.

a = 10 and common difference, d = 3

Now, an

= 94⇒3(n−1)
= 28⇒n−1
n = 29
Since the number of terms in the above AP is
odd, so it has only one middle term.
Now, middle term
(n+12)th term
= (29+12)th term
= 15th term
Now, 15th term
= 15a = a + 14d
= 10 + 14×3
= 10+42
= 52

= 292×104

Now, sum of last 14 terms
= S29 − [S14 + a15]
= 1508 − (413+52)
= 1508−465
= 1043
Sum of terms on the left side of middle term = S14
= 13Sum of terms on the right side of middle term
= sum of last 14 terms is 1043
