उत्तर
Here, we are given an A.P. whose nth term is given by the following expression `a_n = 3 + 4n`. We need to find the sum of first 15 terms.
So, here we can find the sum of the n terms of the given A.P., using the formula,
`S_n = (n/2)(a + l)`
Where a = the first term
l = the last term
So, for the given A.P,
The first term (a) will be calculated using n = 1 in the given equation for nth term of A.P.
a= 3 + 4(1)
= 3 + 4
= 7
Now, the last term (l) or the nth term is given
`l = a_n = 3 +4n`
So, on substituting the values in the formula for the sum of n terms of an A.P., we get,
`S_15 = (15/2) [(7) + 3 + 4 (15)]`
`= (15/2)[10 + 60]`
= (15/2)(70)
`= (15)(35)`
= 525
Therefore, the sum of the 15 terms of the given A.P. is `S_15 = 525`

In a potato race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, which is 5 m from the first potato and other potatoes are placed 3 m apart in a straight line. There are ten potatoes in the line.
A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest potato, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, runs back to pick up the next potato, runs to the bucket to drop it in, and she continues in the same way until all the potatoes are in the bucket. What is the total distance the competitor has to run?
[Hint: to pick up the first potato and the second potato, the total distance (in metres) run by a competitor is 2 × 5 + 2 ×(5 + 3)]
