Question

In an ap of 50 terms the sum of first ten terms is 210 And the sum of last fifteen terms of it is 2565 find the ap​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a and d as the first term and the common difference of an A.P. respectively.

n th term of an A.P., an = a + ( n – 1)d

Sum of n terms of an A.P., S n = n/ 2 [2a + (n – 1)d]

Given that the sum of the first 10 terms is 210.

⇒ 10 / 2 [2a + 9d ] = 210

⇒ 5[ 2a + 9 d ] = 210

⇒2a + 9d = 42 ----------- (1)

15 th term from the last = ( 50 – 15 + 1 ) th = 36 th term from the beginning

⇒ a36 = a + 35d

Sum of the last 15 terms = 15/2 [2a36 + ( 15 – 1)d ] = 2565

⇒ 15 / 2 [ 2(a + 35d) + 14d ] = 2565

⇒ 15 [ a + 35d + 7d ] = 2565

⇒a + 42d = 171 ----------(2)

From (1) and (2), we have d = 4 and a = 3.

Therefore, the terms in A.P. are 3, 7, 11, 15 . . . and 199.

Answer 2

$\underline{ \underline{\bf{Answer}}} : - \\ \implies \: 3, \: 7 \:, 11 \: ,15, \: ..........,199 \\ \\ \underline{\underline{ \bf{Step - by - step \: explanation \: }}} : -$

According to the question:-

$\bf{sum \: of \: first \: 10 \: terms \:( s_{10}) = 210} \\ 210 = \frac{10}{2} \bigg (2a + (101)d \bigg) \: \\ \\ 2a + 9d = 42 \: .........(1)\\ \\ \bf{sum \: of \: last \: 15 \: terms \: ( s_{15})= 2565} \\ \\ s_{50} -s_{35} = 2565 \\ \\ 2565 = \frac{50}{2} \bigg(2a + (50 - 1)d \bigg) - \frac{35}{2} \bigg(2a + (35 - 1)d \bigg) \\ \\ 2565 = 25(2a + 49d) - 35(a + 17d) \\ \\ 2565 = 50a + 1225d - 35a - 595d \\ \\ after \: solving \: this \: \\ \\ a + 42d = 171 \: ...........(2) \\ \\ from \: eq(1) \: and \: (2) \\ \\eq (1) \times 42 - \: eq (2) \times 9 \\ \\ we \: get \: \\ \\ a = 3 \: d = 4$

Hence required AP is →

3,7,11,15,....,199
