Solution
`1/15, 1/12, 1/10,` ......, to 11 terms
For this A.P.,
a = `1/15`
n = 11
d = a2 - a1
= `1/12-1/15`
= `(5-4)/60`
= `1/60`
We know that
Sn = `n/2[2a + (n -1)d]`
S11 = `11/2[2(1/15)+(11-1)1/60]`
S11 = `11/2[2/5+10/60]`
S11 = `11.2[2/15+1/6]`
S11 = `11/2[(4+5)/30]`
S11 = `(11/2)(9/30)`
S11 = `33/20`
Thus, the required sum of first 11 terms is `33/20`.
