उत्तर

For an A.P.

t4 = 11

`\implies` a + 3d = 11  ...(i)

Also, t8 – 2t4 = 5

`\implies` (a + 7d) – 2 × 11 = 5

`\implies` a + 7d – 22 = 5

`\implies` a + 7d = 27  ...(ii)

Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get

a + 3d = 11
a + 7d = 27
–   –       –    
– 4d = – 16

d = `(- 16)/(- 4)`

`\implies` d = 4

Substituting d = 4 in equation (i), we get

a + 3d = 11

a + 3 × 4 = 11

`\implies` a + 12 = 11

`\implies` a = –1

∴ Required A.P. = a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, ....

∴ a = –1

∴ a + d = –1 + 4 = 3

∴ a + 2d = –1 + 2(4) = –1 + 8 = 7

∴ a + 3d = –1 + 3(4) = –1 + 12 = 11

Sum of first 50 terms of this A.P.

=`50/2 [2 xx (-1) + 49 xx 4]`

= 25[–2 + 196]

= 25 × 194

= 4850
