In an arithmetic progression the first term is (9) and the common difference is (4). What is the sum of the first (30) terms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2010

The sum of the first \(n\) terms of an AP is \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\). Here \(a=9\), \(d=4\), and \(n=30\). Thus, \(S_{30}=\frac{30}{2}[2(9)+29(4)]=15(18+116)=15\times134=2010\). Therefore, 2010 is correct. An answer such as 1980 can result from an error in using \((n-1)d\) or in multiplication. Exam tip: for \(n\) terms, there are always \(n-1\) common differences.
