What is the sum of the first (9) terms of the AP (50,45,40,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 270

Here, the first term is \(a=50\), the common difference is \(d=-5\), and \(n=9\). The ninth term is \(a_9=a+(n-1)d=50+8(-5)=10\). Hence, \(S_9=\frac{n}{2}(a+l)=\frac{9}{2}(50+10)=270\). Therefore, 270 is the correct answer. A value such as 280 can result from using an incorrect last term or number of terms. In exams, find the \(n\)th term first to verify the sum.
