ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION 1


The first term of an AP is 41 and the last term is 97.If the arithmetic progression consists of 20 terms, calculate the sum of all the terms. 

Solution

A1 = 41, n=20, An = 97

Sn = n(A1 + An)
       2

S20 = 20(41 + 97)
         2

S20 = 10 x 138

S20 = 1380


Hence the sum of all 20 terms is 1380.
