उत्तर
(−5) + (−8)+ (−11) + ... + (−230) .
Common difference of the A.P. (d) = a2 - a1
=-8-(-5)
=-8+5
=-3
So here,
First term (a) = −5
Last term (l) = −230
Common difference (d) = −3
So, here the first step is to find the total number of terms. Let us take the number of terms as n.
Now, as we know,
an = a + (n-1) d
So, for the last term,
- 230 = -5 + ( n-1) (-3)
- 230 = -5-3n + 3
-23 +2 = -3n
`(-228)/(-3) = n`
n = 76
Now, using the formula for the sum of n terms, we get
`S_n = 76/2 [2(-5) + (76-1) (-3)]`
= 38 [-10+(75)(-3)]
=38 (-10-225)
= 38(-235)
= -8930
Therefore, the sum of the A.P is Sn = -8930

In a school, students thought of planting trees in and around the school to reduce air pollution. It was decided that the number of trees, that each section of each class will plant will be the same as the class, in which they are studying, e.g., a section of class I will plant 1 tree, a section of class II will plant 2 trees, and so on till class XII. There are three sections of each class. How many trees will be planted by the students?
