उत्तर
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of the given A.P.
Now,
4th term = 22
⇒ a + 3d = 22 ...(i)
15th term = 66
⇒ a + 14d
= 66
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we have
11d = 44
⇒ d = 4
Substituting the value of d in (1), we get
a = 22 − 3 × 4
= 22 − 12
=10
⇒ First term = 10
Now
Sum of 8 terms = `8/2[2xx10+7xx4]`
= 4[20 + 28]
= 4 × 48
= 192
