Find the sum of first 20 terms of AP: 1, 4, 7,...

Answer: 590.

  • A 580
  • B 590
  • C 600
  • D 610

Correct answer: B. 590

Explanation: a = 1, d = 3. S20 = 20/2 [2 + 19×3] = 10 × 59 = 590.

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.
