Let be an A.P., and . If = 27 and S - 2T = 75, then is equal to :
- A47
- B42
- C52
- D57
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Let the A.P. have first term and common difference .
Then
We are given:
We need to find .
1. Use
Since we get
2. Compute
Sum of first terms of an A.P. is So,
3. Compute
The odd-positioned terms are: This is itself an A.P. with:
- first term
- common difference
- number of terms
Hence,
Therefore,
4. Use the condition
Substitute: Given that so,
5. Find
From equation (1):
6. Find
7. Check options
- A:
- B:
- C: ✅
- D:
Thus, the correct answer is:
