    In AP, if the first term is 2, and last term is 29, then find the sum, if n = 10.

    A)  155     

    B)  156    

    C)  157                             

    D)  158

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Simple interest for 1 yr=Rs.\[(1729-1586)\]=Rs. 143
    Simple interest for 2 yr = Rs. 286
    \[\therefore \]Principal =Rs.\[(1586-286)\]= Rs. 1300
    \[\therefore \]Rate, \[R=\frac{100\times SI}{P\times T}\]
    \[=\frac{100\times 143}{1300\times 1}=11%\]
    Here,\[{{a}_{1}}=2,\]\[{{a}_{10}}=29,\]\[n=10\]
    So, \[{{S}_{10}}=\frac{n}{2}({{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{n}})=\frac{10}{2}({{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{10}})\]
    \[=\frac{10}{2}(2+29)=155\]
