In the AP (50, 47, 44, ...), what is the sum of the terms from the 6th term to the 20th term, inclusive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 210

The governing concept is the sum of a consecutive block of terms in an AP. Here a = 50 and d = 47 − 50 = −3. The sixth term is a_6 = 50 + 5(−3) = 35, while the twentieth term is a_20 = 50 + 19(−3) = −7. The number of included terms is 20 − 6 + 1 = 15, because both endpoints are included. Hence the block sum is 15/2(35 + (−7)) = 15/2 × 28 = 15 × 14 = 210. Thus option C is correct. Forgetting the inclusive +1 would count only 14 terms and produce an incorrect result; using 20 terms would also include terms outside the requested interval.
