Class 10MathematicsArithmetic Progressions (AP)Finding the sum of the first $n$ terms of an APExpert
0 reads0 ratings0 helpful

If the sum of an AP is (S_n=5n^2-4n), find the (35)th term.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 341

For an AP, the \(n\)th term is \(a_n=S_n-S_{n-1}\). Therefore, \(a_{35}=S_{35}-S_{34}\). Here, \(S_{35}=5(35)^2-4(35)=5985\) and \(S_{34}=5(34)^2-4(34)=5644\). Hence, \(a_{35}=5985-5644=341\). Option 336 does not give the correct difference for \(n=35\). Exam tip: When \(S_n\) is given, find an individual term using \(S_n-S_{n-1}\).
