What is the sum of the first 5 terms of the arithmetic progression (5, 12, 19, 26, ...)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 95

Direct answer: option C, 95. The first term is a = 5, the common difference is d = 12−5 = 7, and the number of terms is n = 5. Use the AP sum formula Sₙ = n/2[2a + (n−1)d]. Thus S₅ = 5/2[2(5) + 4(7)] = 5/2[10 + 28] = 5/2 × 38 = 95. We can verify by finding the terms directly: 5, 12, 19, 26, and 33. Their sum is 5 + 12 + 19 + 26 + 33 = 95. Option A is too small, while B and D do not equal the calculated sum. They may result from using the wrong common difference or omitting or miscounting a term. Another check is pairing first and last terms: 5 + 33 = 38 and 12 + 26 = 38, with 19 in the middle; total 38 + 38 + 19 = 95. Count exactly five terms.
