Find the sum of the first (10) terms of the AP (30,27,24,\ldots).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 165

For this AP, the first term is \(a=30\), the common difference is \(d=27-30=-3\), and \(n=10\). Using \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\), \(S_{10}=\frac{10}{2}[2(30)+9(-3)]=5(60-27)=165\). Therefore, 165 is correct. If you get 160, recheck the common difference or the number of terms. Exam tip: always retain the negative sign of \(d\) in a decreasing AP.
