Question

The sum of the first 7 terms of AP is 63 and the sum of its next 7 terms is 161.Find the 28th term of this AP .And find the sum of first 20 terms of this AP

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer}}}}$

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.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
