Find the sum of the first (14) terms of the arithmetic progression (2,5,8,\ldots).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (301)

Direct answer: option C, 301. In the AP 2,5,8,..., the first term is a=2 and the common difference is d=3. The fourteenth term is a14=a+(14-1)d=2+13×3=41. The AP sum formula is S_n=n/2[2a+(n-1)d], or n/2(first term+last term). Thus S14=14/2×(2+41)=7×43=301. Option A, 296, results from an incorrect final term or arithmetic and is not the sum. Option B, 299, is also inconsistent with the formula. Option C, 301, uses the correct fourteenth term and is correct. Option D, 303, is slightly too large and does not result from the AP calculation. A useful check is that the average of the first and last terms is (2+41)/2=21.5; multiplying by 14 gives 301.
