उत्तर
For an A.P.
t8 = 37
`=>` a + 7d = 37 ...(i)
Also, t15 – t12 = 15
`=>` (a + 14d) – (a + 11d) = 15
`=>` a + 14d – a – 11d = 15
`=>` 3d = 15
`=>` d = 5
Substituting d = 5 in (i), we get
a + 7 × 5 = 37
`=>` a + 35 = 37
`=>` a = 2
∴ Required A.P. = a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, .....
= 2, 7, 12, 17, .....
Sum of the first 20 terms of this A.P.
= `20/2 [2 xx 2 + 19 xx 5]`
= 10[4 + 95]
= 10 × 99
= 990
