In an AP, (S_{12}=438) and (S_{24}=1596). Find the value of (S_{36}).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3474)

For an arithmetic progression with first term a and common difference d, the sum formula is \\(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\\). Using \\(S_{12}=438\\) gives \\(2a+11d=73\\), and using \\(S_{24}=1596\\) gives \\(2a+23d=133\\). Subtracting these equations gives \\(12d=60\\), so \\(d=5\\). Then \\(2a+55=73\\), hence \\(a=9\\).

Now apply the same formula at n=36: \\(S_{36}=\frac{36}{2}[2(9)+35(5)]\\=18(18+175)=18(193)=3474\\). Therefore option A is correct. The important step is to determine the progression from the two given partial sums before calculating the requested sum.
