If the first term of an arithmetic progression is (11), the last term is (83), and there are (13) terms, what is the sum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (611)

The direct answer is option C, 611. For an arithmetic progression with first term a, last term l, and n terms, the sum is S_n = n/2(a+l). Here a = 11, l = 83, and n = 13. Therefore S_13 = 13/2(11+83) = 13/2 × 94 = 13 × 47 = 611. Option A, 591, results from an incorrect calculation. Option B, 601, is also not the value of the formula. Option C is correct because it uses both end terms and the exact number of terms. Option D, 621, is ten greater than the correct result and may come from careless addition or multiplication. The key memory rule is: when the first term, last term, and number of terms are known, use half the number of terms times the sum of the end terms.
