Open in App
Solution

The given series is 51 + 52 + 53 + … + 70.

Here, first term = a + b = 51

Common difference = a = 52 − 51 = 1

1 + b = 51

b = 50

Therefore,

70 = n + 50

n = 70 − 50 = 20

We know that the sum of a specified number of the consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence is half the product of the number of the terms with the sum of the first and the last term.

Sum of its first 20 terms = … (1)

Here,

Putting the values in equation (1):

Sum of first 20 terms =
