Which formula correctly represents the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression, where the first term is a and the common difference is d?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\)

The sum of the first n AP terms is \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\). It also equals \(\frac{n}{2}(a+l)\), where \(l=a+(n-1)d\). Option B gives only the nth term. Exam tip: distinguish the sum formula from the nth-term formula.
