Find the sum of first 22 terms of an AP in which d = 7 and 22nd term is 149.
Find the sum of first 22 terms of an AP in which d = 7 and 22nd term is 149.

Solution:

Provided here,
The common difference, d = 7

22nd term, a22 = 149

The sum of the first 22 term, S22 = ?

Using the nth term formula,

an = a+(n−1)d

a22 = a+(22−1)d

149 = a+21×7

149 = a+147

a = 2 = First term

The sum of n terms,

Sn = n/2(a+an)

S22 = 22/2 (2+149)

= 11×151

= 1661
