What is the sum of the first 5 terms of the arithmetic progression (2,7,12,17, …)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 60

The governing concept is the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression. The first five terms are 2, 7, 12, 17, and 22, because the common difference is 5. Direct addition gives S₅ = 2 + 7 + 12 + 17 + 22 = 60, so option B is correct. The standard formula confirms this: Sₙ = n/2[2a₁ + (n − 1)d], hence S₅ = 5/2[2(2) + 4(5)] = 5/2(24) = 60. Option A, 55, omits 5 from the total; option C adds an extra 5; and option D is larger still because it does not represent the sum of exactly the first five terms.
