What is the sum of the first (14) terms of the AP (12,17,22,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 623

Here, the first term is \(a=12\), the common difference is \(d=17-12=5\), and the number of terms is \(n=14\). Applying \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\), we get \(S_{14}=\frac{14}{2}[2(12)+13(5)]=7(89)=623\). Hence, 623 is correct. 615 is incorrect because a 14-term AP has \((n-1)=13\) common-difference intervals. Exam tip: identify \(a\), \(d\), and \(n\) before substituting in the sum formula.
