in an AP first term is 2. the sum of first five term is one fourth of the sum of next 5 terms. find the sum of first 20 term
Answers
Given :
•First term (a) → 2
• Sum of first 5 terms = ¼[ Sum of next five terms ]
Using the formula for Sum of n terms :
For Sum of first five terms ,
For the Sum of first 10 terms ,
Now , as per question :
•°• Sum of first 20 terms :-
=> S20 = 10 [ 4 - 114 ]
=> S20 = 10 × (-110)
•°•
☞ In an AP first term is 2.
=> a (first term) = 2
☞ The sum of first five term is one fourth of the sum of next 5 terms.
= [2a + (n - 1)d]
• A.T.Q.
Sum of mean of first 5 terms = Sum of first 10 terms - Sum of first 5 terms
=> -
=> [2(2) + (10 - 1)d] - [2(2) + (5 - 1)d]
=> 5 (4 + 9d) - (4 + 4d)
=> 20 + 45d - × 4 (1 + d)
=> 20 + 45d - 10 (1 + d)
=> 20 + 45d - 10 - 10d
=> 45d - 10d + 20 - 10
=> 35d + 10
_______________________________
Sum of mean of first 5 terms = × Sum of next 5 terms
=> (4 + 4d) = × (10 + 35d)
=> × 4 (1 + d) = × (10 + 35d)
=> 10(1 + d) = × (10 + 35d)
=> 10 + 10d = × (10 + 35d)
=> 4(10 + 10d) = (10 + 35d)
=> 40 + 40d = 10 + 35d
=> 40 - 10 = 35d - 40d
=> 30 = - 5d
=> d = - 6
______________________________
☞ We have to find sum of first 20 terms.
= [2a + (n - 1)d]
n = 20
a = 2
d = - 6
=> = [2(2) + (20 - 1)(-6)]
=> = 10[4 + 19(-6)]
=> = 10(4 - 114)
=> = 10 (-110)
=> = - 1100
________________________________
Sum of first 20 terms is - 1100
