In an AP, the first term is 14, the last term is 104, and the number of terms is 19. What is the sum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1121

Direct answer: 1121, so option C is correct. When the first term a, last term l, and number of terms n are known, use Sₙ = n/2(a + l). This formula works because an AP has equally spaced terms, so the average of all its terms is the average of the first and last terms. Here a = 14, l = 104, and n = 19. Therefore S₁₉ = 19/2(14 + 104) = 19/2×118 = 19×59 = 1121. Option C follows directly. Option A, 1101, option B, 1111, and option D, 1131, are nearby values but do not result from multiplying 19 by the correct average 59. There is no need to find the common difference or list all 19 terms. A useful check is that 14 and 104 have average (14 + 104)/2 = 59; multiplying this average by 19 gives 1121. Memory cue: AP sum equals number of terms multiplied by the average of the first and last terms.
