उत्तर
The given AP is 18, 16, 14, ...
The first term of the AP = 18
Common difference = 16 − 18 = −2
Let the sum of the first x terms of the AP be 0.
Sum of the first x terms =`x/2`[2×18+(x−1)(−2)]=0
⇒`x/2`[36+(−2x+2)]=0
⇒x(36−2x+2)=0
⇒x(38−2x)=0
Now, either x = 0 or 38 − 2x = 0
But the number of terms cannot be 0.
∴ 38 − 2x = 0
⇒ 38 = 2x
⇒ x = 19
Thus, the sum of the first 19 terms of the AP is 0.
