उत्तर
Given that,
a = 17
l = 350
d = 9
Let there be n terms in the A.P.
l = a + (n – 1)d
350 = 17 + (n – 1)9
9n = 350 + 9 – 17
9n = 359 – 17
9n = 342
⇒ n = `342/9`
⇒ n = 38
Sn = `n/2 (a + l)`
Sn = `38/2 (17 + 350)`
= 19 × 367
= 6973
Thus, this A.P. contains 38 terms and the sum of the terms of this A.P. is 6973.

A small terrace at a football field comprises 15 steps, each of which is 50 m long and built of solid concrete. Each step has a rise of `1/4` m and a tread of `1/2` m (See figure). Calculate the total volume of concrete required to build the terrace.
[Hint: Volume of concrete required to build the first step = `1/4 xx 1/2 xx 50 m^3`]
