In an arithmetic progression, (S_9=342) and (S_{20}=1640). What will be the sum of the (10)th to (20)th terms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1298)

The direct answer is option B, 1298. S_9 is the sum of the first nine terms, while S_20 is the sum of the first twenty terms. To obtain the sum from the 10th through the 20th terms, subtract the first nine terms from the first twenty terms: S_20 − S_9 = 1640 − 342 = 1298. Option A, 1278, results from an arithmetic subtraction error. Option B is correct because the first nine terms are removed, leaving terms 10 to 20, exactly the requested eleven terms. Option C, 1318, and option D, 1338, do not equal the required difference. It is not necessary to find the first term or common difference. Memory cue: the sum from term k+1 through term m is S_m − S_k; check the starting index carefully.
