An arithmetic progression has 15 terms. Its 8thterm is 8. If S is the sum of its terms, then whichof the following is true?(1) S 100(2) S = 100(3) S (4) None of these
Number of terms, n = 15
Suppose a be the first term and d be the common difference of an A.P.
We know that nth term of an A.P. is
So 8th term of an A.P. =
Sum of 15 terms of an A.P. = = S
so the value of S = 120
