In an arithmetic progression, the first term is (31), the last term is (13), and the number of terms is (7). What is the sum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 154

The sum of the first \(n\) terms of an AP is \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a+l)\), where \(a\) is the first term and \(l\) is the last term. Thus, \(S_7=\frac{7}{2}(31+13)=\frac{7}{2}\times44=154\). Therefore, 154 is correct. Since the first term is greater than the last term, the AP may be decreasing, but this does not change the sum formula. Exam tip: When the first term, last term, and number of terms are given, use \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a+l)\) directly.
