Q.6. The sum of first 7 terms of an A.P. is 49 and that of first 17 terms of it is 289. Find the sum of first n terms.
Dear Student,
Here is the solution of your asked query:
Given that,
S7 = 49
S17 = 289
7 = (a + 3d)
a + 3d = 7 (i)
Similarly,
17 = (a + 8d)
a + 8d = 17 (ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii),
5d = 10
d = 2
From equation (i),
a + 3(2) = 7
a + 6 = 7
a = 1
= n2
