उत्तर
Let a and d be the first term and common difference of an AP respectively.
Given that, a11 : a18 = 2 : 3
⇒ `(a + 10d)/(a + 17d) = 2/3`
⇒ 3a + 30d = 2a + 34d
⇒ a = 4d ...(i)
Now, a5 = a + 4d
= 4d + 4d
= 84d ...[From equation (i)]
And a21 = a + 20d
= 4d + 20d
= 24d ...[From equation (i)]
∴ a5 : a21 = 8d : 24d = 1 : 3
Now, sum of the first five terms,
S5 = `5/2[2a + (5 - 1)d]` ...`[∵ S_n = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]]`
= `5/2[2(4d) + 4d]` ...[From equation (i)]
= `5/4(8d + 4d)`
= `5/2 xx 12d`
= 30d
And sum of the first 21 terms,
S21 = `21/2[2a + (21 - 1)d]`
= `21/2[2(4d) + 20d]` ...[From equation (i)]
= `21/2(28d)`
= 294d
S5 : S21 = 30d : 294d = 5 : 49
So, ratio of the sum of the first five terms to the sum of the first 21 terms is 5 : 49.
