Solution

The correct option is A $1064$
We know that $n^{t h}$ term of an AP is given as, $a_{n} = a + (n - 1) d$

And sum of first $n$ terms, $S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (2 a + (n - 1) d)$ , where $a$ and $d$ are the first term amd common difference of an AP.
Since, $a_{4} + a_{8} + a_{12} + a_{16} = 224$

$∴ a + 3 d + a + 7 d + a + 11 d + a + 15 d = 224 \Rightarrow 4 a + 36 d = 224 \Rightarrow a + 9 d = 56$
Now
$S_{19} = \frac{19}{2} [2 a + (19 - 1) d] = 19 [a + 9 d] = 19 [56] = 1064$
