If the sum of first 14 terms of an AP is 1050 and its first term is 10, then its 20th term is : |
200 100 300 400 |
200 |
Sum of first 14 terms of an AP (Sn) = 1050 n = 14 First term ( a ) = 10 We know, Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[ 2a + (n-1)d] 1050 = \(\frac{14}{2}\)[ 2 × 10 + (14-1)d] 1050 = 7[ 20 + 13d] 1050 = 140 + 91d d = 10 Now, 20th term = a + ( n - 1 ) d = 10 + ( 20 - 1 ) × 10 = 10 + 190 = 200
