The first and the last terms of an A.P. are 8 and 350 respectively. If its common difference is 9, how many terms are there and what is their sum?

उत्तर
First term, a = 8
Common difference, d = 9
Let the nth term be the last term.
∴ l = an = 350
⇒ a + (n − 1) d = 350
⇒ 8 + (n − 1) × 9 = 350
⇒ (n − 1) × 9 = 342
`rArr n-1=342/9=38`
`rArrn=38+1=39`
Thus, there are 39 terms in the given A.P.
Sum of 39 trems , `S_39=39/2(a+a_39)`
`=39/2xx(8+350)`
`=39/2xx358`
`=6981`

A small terrace at a football field comprises 15 steps, each of which is 50 m long and built of solid concrete. Each step has a rise of `1/4` m and a tread of `1/2` m (See figure). Calculate the total volume of concrete required to build the terrace.
[Hint: Volume of concrete required to build the first step = `1/4 xx 1/2 xx 50 m^3`]
