If the first term of an AP is (5), the last term is (45), and the number of terms is (9), what is the sum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 225

When the first and last terms are known, the sum of the first \(n\) terms of an AP is \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a+l)\). Thus, \(S_9=\frac{9}{2}(5+45)=\frac{9}{2}\times 50=225\). Hence, 225 is correct. A value such as 215 can result from an addition or multiplication error. Exam tip: do not forget to multiply by the number of terms \(n\) in the sum formula.
