If an arithmetic progression has a = 3, d = 7, and n = 20, what is the sum of the first 20 terms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1390

The governing concept is the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression: Sₙ = n/2[2a + (n − 1)d]. Substituting a = 3, d = 7, and n = 20 gives S₂₀ = 20/2[2(3) + 19(7)] = 10[6 + 133] = 10 × 139 = 1390. Hence option D is correct. A second method verifies the result. The twentieth term is a₂₀ = a + 19d = 3 + 19 × 7 = 136. The sum is then the number of terms multiplied by the average of the first and last terms: S₂₀ = 20(3 + 136)/2 = 10 × 139 = 1390. The other choices may arise from using 20d rather than 19d, finding the last term incorrectly, or making a small arithmetic error.
