_____________________________________________
let the first term is=a
common difference=d
now sum of first 3 terms..is..
now sum of last 3 terms..is..
a +8d = 135
a + d = 107
━━━━━━━━━
7d=28
=>d=4
and .... a=107-4=103
therefore....
option (a)1165
The sum of all the ten numbers of the AP is 1210.
b is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given AP is
a, a+d, a+2d,...........+a+7d, a+8d, a+9d
Now, it has been given that, sum of first three terms is 321. Thus, we have
a+a+d+a+2d = 321
3a+3d=321
3(a+d)=321
a+d = 107............(i)
Now, second condition is "sum of last three numbers is 405". Therefore, we have
a+7d+a+8d+a+9d=405
3a+24d=405
3(a+8d)=405
a + 8d = 135.......(ii)
Subtract equation (i) from (ii)
Substituting this value in (i)
a + 4 = 107
a = 107 - 4
a = 103
Therefore, sum of 10 terms of this AP is given by
B is the correct option.
