Solution

The correct option is D 52
Given :
a1,a2,......,a30 is an A.P.
S=30i=1ai
T=15i=1a2i1
a5=27 and S2T=75
Now assuming the first term as 'a' and the common difference to be 'd',
S=a1+a2+a3+.......+a30
T=a1+a3+a5+.......+a29

Writing S2T and rearranging the terms, we will get
S2T=(a2a1)+(a4a3)+(a6a5)+.......(a30a29)=75
15×d=75d=5
As given,
a5=27a+4.d=27
a=7
a10=a+9d=7+9×5=52
