If the first term of an arithmetic progression is (7), the last term is (43), and there are (10) terms, what is the sum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (250)

The direct answer is option B, 250. The sum of n terms of an AP is S_n=n/2(first term+last term). Here n=10, the first term is 7, and the last term is 43. Therefore S_10=10/2×(7+43)=5×50=250. This works because pairing the first and last terms gives equal sums: 7+43=50, and there are five such pairs. Option A, 240, is too small and does not follow the formula. Option B, 250, is correct. Option C, 260, is too large by 10, and option D, 270, is larger still. No common difference is needed because both the number of terms and the two end terms are already given. Exam cue: when first term, last term, and number of terms are known, use S_n=n/2(a+l), not a longer term-by-term addition.
