Find the sum of 20 terms of the AP (x + y), (x – y), (x – 3y), …. |
|
Answer» To Find: The sum of 20 terms of the given AP. Sum of n terms of an AP with first term a and common difference d is given by s = n/2[2a+(n -1)d] Here a = x + y, n = 20, d = - 2y ⇒ S = 10[2x + 2y + 19( - 2y)] = 10[2x + 2y - 38y] = 10[2x - 36y] ⇒ S = 20[x - 18y] Sum of the series is 20(x - 18y). |
