Question

The sum of the first four terms of an Arithmetic Progression (A.P) is 56. The sum of the last four terms is 112. If the first term is 11, then find the number of terms in the AP.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it will Help

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the A.P. be a,a+d,a+2d,a+3d,...a+(n−2)d,a+(n−1)d.

Sum of first four terms =a+(a+d)+(a+2d)+(a+3d)=4a+6d

Sum of last four terms

=[a+(n−4)d]+[a+(n−3)d]+[a+(n−2)d]+[a+(n−1)d]⇒=4a+(4n−10)d

According to the given condition, 4a+6d=56

⇒4(11)+6d=56[Sincea=11(given)]

⇒6d=12⇒d=2

∴4a+(4n−10)d=112

⇒4(11)+(4n−10)2=112

⇒(4n−10)2=68

⇒4n−10=34

⇒4n=44⇒n=11

Thus the number of terms of A.P. is 11.
