Question
First term and the common differences of an A.P. are 6 and 3 respectively; find S27.
Solution: First term = a = 6, common difference = d = 3, S27 = ?
Sn = `"n"/2 [square + ("n" - 1)"d"]` - Formula
Sn = `27/2 [12 + (27 - 1)square]`
= `27/2 xx square`
= 27 × 45
S27 = `square`

Solution
It is given that,
First term (a) = 6
Common difference (d) = 3
Sn = `n/2 [bb(2a) + (n - 1)d]` - Formula
∴ S27 = `27/2 [2(6) + (27 - 1)bb((3))]`
= `27/2 (12 + 26 (3))`
= `27/2 (12 + 78)`
= `27/2 xx bb90`
= 1215
Hence, S27 = 1215.
