उत्तर
Let the first term, common difference and the number of terms of an AP are a, d and n, respectively.
∵ Sum of first n terms of an AP,
Sn = `n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]` ...(i)
∴ Sum of first five terms of an AP,
S5 = `5/2[2a + (5 - 1)d]` ...[From equation (i)]
= `5/2(2a + 4d)`
= 5(a + 2d)
⇒ S5 = 5a + 10d ...(ii)
And sum of first seven terms of an AP,
S7 = `7/2[2a + (7 - 1)d]`
= `7/2[2a + 6d]`
= 7(a + 3d)
⇒ S7 = 7a + 21d ...(iii)
Now, by given condition,
S5 + S7 = 167
⇒ 5a + 10d + 7a + 21d = 167
⇒ 12a + 31d = 167 ...(iv)
Given that, sum of first ten terms of this AP is 235.
∴ S10 = 235
⇒ `10/2[2a + (10 - 1)d]` = 235
⇒ 5(2a + 9d) = 235
⇒ 2a + 9d = 47 ...(v)
On multiplying equation (v) by 6 and then subtracting it into equation (iv), we get
12a + 54d = 282
12a + 31d = 167
– – –
23d = 115
⇒ d = 5
Now, put the value of d in equation (v), we get
2a + 9(5) = 47
⇒ 2a + 45 = 47
⇒ 2a = 47 – 45 = 2
⇒ a = 1
Sum of first twenty terms of this AP,
S20 = `20/2[2a + (20 - 1)d]`
= 10[2 × (1) + 19 × (5)]
= 10(2 + 95)
= 10 × 97
= 970
Hence, the required sum of its first twenty terms is 970.
