In the AP (-40,-31,-22,\ldots), what is the sum from the (25)th term to the (60)th term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (12006)

The direct answer is B: the sum is 12006. In an arithmetic progression, consecutive terms change by the same common difference. Here the first term is (-40) and the common difference is 9, because (-31)-(-40)=9. The requested terms are the 25th through the 60th, so their number is 60-25+1=36. The 25th term is a_{25}=-40+24(9)=176, and the 60th term is a_{60}=-40+59(9)=491. Thus the sum is \frac{36}{2}(176+491)=18\times667=12006. Equivalently, use S_{60}-S_{24}. Option A, 11826, is too small and results from an arithmetic error. Option B, 12006, matches the correct calculation. Option C, 12186, and option D, 12366, are also incorrect values, usually caused by using the wrong number of terms or an incorrect endpoint. Remember the inclusive count: last term minus first term plus one.
