उत्तर

Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.

Now, a = 15

Sum of first n terms of an AP is given by,

Sn = `"n"/(2)[2"a" + ("n" - 1)"d"]`

⇒ S15 = `(15)/(2)[2"a" + (15 - 1)"d"]`

⇒ 750 = `(15)/(2)(2"a" + 14"d")`

⇒ a + 7d = 50

⇒ 15 + 7d = 50

⇒ 7d = 35

⇒ d = 5

Now, 20th term = a20

= a + 19d

= 15 + 19 × 5

= 15 + 95

= 110.
