In an arithmetic progression the first term is (15) and the common difference is (6). What is the sum of the first (28) terms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2688

The sum of the first \(n\) terms of an AP is \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\). Here, \(a=15\), \(d=6\), and \(n=28\). Thus, \(S_{28}=\frac{28}{2}[2(15)+27(6)]=14(30+162)=14\times192=2688\). Therefore, option C is correct. Using \(28\) instead of \(27\) would be incorrect because the common difference is added only \(n-1\) times. Exam tip: write \(n-1\) separately before substituting values in the formula.
