Find the sum of the first (18) terms of the arithmetic progression (7,12,17,\ldots).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (891)

The direct answer is option C, 891. The first term is \(a=7\), the common difference is \(d=12-7=5\), and there are 18 terms. The eighteenth term is \(a_{18}=7+(18-1)5=7+85=92\). Hence \(S_{18}=\frac{18}{2}(7+92)=9\times99=891\). Option A, 861, is too small and usually comes from finding the wrong last term. Option B, 876, is also not obtained from the correct first and last terms. Option C, 891, is correct. Option D, 906, is too large. Since an AP sum equals number of terms times the average of the first and last terms, the check is 18×((7+92)/2)=18×49.5=891. The last term is the key step.
