Solution

Find the sum of all the terms of the series.

Second term, a2=14

Third term, a3=18

We need to find the sum of first 51 terms of the given series.

Common difference, d=a3a2=1814=4

a2=a+d14=a+4

a=10= First term

Sum ofn terms;

Sn=n2[2a+(n1)d]S51=512[2×10+(51-1)4]S51=512[20+(50)×4]S51=512×[20+200]S51=51×110S51=5610

Hence, the sum of first51 terms is 5610.
