Solution
Let 'a' be the first term and 'd' be the common difference of the given A.P.
Given,
S14 = 1050
`\implies 14/2 [2a + (14 - 1)d] = 1050`
`\implies` 7[2a + 13d] = 1050
`\implies` 2a + 13d = 150
`\implies` a + 6.5d = 75 ...(i)
And t14 = 140
`\implies` a + 13d = 140 ...(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
6.5d = 65
⇒ d = 10
⇒ a + 13(10) = 140
⇒ a = 10
Thus, 20th term = t20
= 10 + 19d
= 10 + 19(10)
= 200
