If an AP has a = -35, d = 12, and n = 28, what is the value of S₍₂₈₎?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3556

The governing concept is the sum formula for the first n terms of an arithmetic progression: S_n = n/2[2a + (n − 1)d]. Substitute a = −35, d = 12, and n = 28. Thus S_28 = 28/2[2(−35) + 27(12)] = 14[−70 + 324] = 14 × 254 = 3556. Therefore option C is correct. The negative sign in the first term must be preserved when calculating 2a; treating −35 as positive changes the result. The other options are plausible distractors caused by using an incorrect multiplier, mishandling the negative sign, or making an arithmetic error in the final multiplication. The formula directly gives the required total.
