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 tn = a+n-1d
So 8th term of an A.P. = t8 = a+8-1d = 8
a+7d = 8      ...(i)
Sum of 15 terms of an A.P. = 1522a+15-1d = S
1522a+14d = S152×2a+7d = SS= 15×8 = 120         {using (i)}
so the value of S = 120
