The sum of third and ninth term of an A.P is 8. Find the sum of the first 11 terms of the progression.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Third term =a+2d=a+2d

Ninth term =a+8d=a+8d

According to the question,

a+2d+a+8d=8a+2d+a+8d=8

2a+10d=82a+10d=8

We are asked to find sum of the first 11 terms.

Sn=n2[2a+(n−1)d]S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

S11=112[2a+10d]=112[8]=44S_{11}=\frac{11}{2}[2a+10d]=\frac{11}{2}[8]=44
