Find the sum of first 10 terms of AP: 1, 3, 5,...

Answer: 100.

  • A 80
  • B 90
  • C 100
  • D 110

Correct answer: C. 100

Explanation: a = 1, d = 2. S10 = 10/2 [2(1) + 9(2)] = 5[2+18] = 5×20 = 100.

Each bar grows by the common difference d=3a1=2a2=5a3=8a4=11d=3

Bar heights for AP 2, 5, 8, 11 with the common difference d=3 marked between consecutive terms.
