Solution

The correct option is A 1064
We know that nth term of an AP is given as, an=a+(n1)d

And sum of first n terms, Sn=n2(2a+(n1)d), where a and d are the first term amd common difference of an AP.
Since, a4+a8+a12+a16=224

a+3d+a+7d+a+11d+a+15d=2244a+36d=224a+9d=56
Now
S19=192[2a+(191)d]=19[a+9d]=19[56]=1064
