Question

    If the first term of the arithmetic progression is 16, the common difference is 4, and the number of terms in the series are 40, then find the sum of the series.

    A 2845 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2876 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    First term (a) = 16 Common difference (d) = 4 Number of terms (n) = 40 Required sum = (n/2) {2a + (n – 1) × d} = (40/2) × {2 × 16 + (40 – 1) × 4} = 20 × (32 + 39 × 4) = 20× (32 + 156) = 20 × 188 = 3760
