Question

In an A.P., the sum of first n terms is $\frac{3n^2}{2}+\frac{13}{2}n$. Find its 25th term.

Answer 1

n term sum = 3n²/2 + 13n/2
as we know that nth term = (Sum of nth term ) -( sum of (n-1)th term)
method 1
so 25th term = (sum of 25 terms) - ( sum of 24 terms)
=(3×(25)²/2 +(13×25)/2) - ( 3×(24)²/2 + (13×24)/2)
= 1100 - 1020
= 80
