Sn = ( n / 2) [ 2a + ( n -1)d
sum of the first 7 terms of an A.P is 63 i. e S7 = 63.
( 7 / 2) [ 2a + 6d ] = 63
2a + 6d = 18 --------(1)
Sum of its next 7 terms = 161.
Sum of first 14 terms = sum of first 7 terms + sum of next 7 terms.
S14 = 63 + 161 = 224
( 14 / 2) [ 2a + 13d ] = 224.
7 [ 2a + 13d ] = 224.
⇒ [ 2a + 13d ] = 32 -------92)
By Solving equation (1) and (2) we obtain
d = 2
a = 3.
t28 = a + ( 28 - 1) d
t28 = 3 + ( 28 - 1) 2
t28 = 57.
28th term= 57.
