If in an AP, S₅ = 75 and S₁₀ = 275, what is the value of S₂₀?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1050

The governing concept is the AP sum formula Sₙ = n/2[2a + (n − 1)d]. From S₅ = 75, we obtain 5/2(2a + 4d) = 75, so a + 2d = 15. From S₁₀ = 275, 10/2(2a + 9d) = 275, giving 2a + 9d = 55. Doubling the first simplified equation gives 2a + 4d = 30. Subtracting, 5d = 25, so d = 5; then a + 10 = 15, hence a = 5. Therefore S₂₀ = 20/2[2(5) + 19(5)] = 10(10 + 95) = 1050. Option C is correct. The other options result from an incorrect common difference, confusing S₁₀ with the sum of terms 6 to 10, or using an incorrect value of n − 1.
