If the 10th, term of an A.P. is 120, and its 20th, term is 110, then the sum of its first 200, terms is.
  1. 50
  2. 5014
  3. 100
  4. 10012

Solution

Let, a & d is the first term and common difference of arithmetic progression respectively, then

T10=120=a+9d    ...i
T20=110=a+19d    ...ii

After solving i and ii, we get
a=1200, d=1200

Now

S200=20022200+199200=2012=10012.
