What is the sum of the first (17) terms of the AP (14,23,32,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1462)

The direct answer is option C, 1462. The first term is a=14, the common difference is d=23-14=9, and n=17. Use S_n=n/2[2a+(n-1)d]. Therefore S_17=17/2[2(14)+16(9)]=17/2(28+144)=17/2(172)=17(86)=1462. The last term check gives l=14+16(9)=158, and S_17=17/2(14+158)=17/2(172)=1462. Option A, 1411, is not obtained from the AP formula. Option B, 1436, is also numerically incorrect. Option C, 1462, is correct because it uses all 17 terms and their average, 86. Option D, 1488, is too large. An odd number of terms causes no difficulty; the same sum formula works for odd and even n. Exam cue: find a, d, and n carefully before substituting.
