The sum of the first 10 terms of an Arithmetic Progression is 250. If the first term is 15, what is the 10th term?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Use Sn=n2(a+l)S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a + l) where ll is the last term.

250=102(15+l)⇒50=15+l⇒l=35250 = \frac{10}{2}(15 + l) \Rightarrow 50 = 15 + l \Rightarrow l = 35.

So the 10th term is 35.
