If the 10th term of an A.P. is 120{1 \over {20}}201​ and its 20th term is 110{1 \over {10}}101​, then the sum of its first 200 terms is

Correct answer: B

  1. Let the first term of the A.P. be aaa and common difference be ddd.

  2. The nnnth term of an A.P. is Tn=a+(n−1)dT_n=a+(n-1)dTn​=a+(n−1)d

  3. Given: T10=a+9d=120T_{10}=a+9d=\frac{1}{20}T10​=a+9d=201​ T20=a+19d=110T_{20}=a+19d=\frac{1}{10}T20​=a+19d=101​

  4. Subtract the first equation from the second: 10d=110−120=12010d=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{20}10d=101​−201​=201​ d=1200d=\frac{1}{200}d=2001​

  5. Substitute into a+9d=120a+9d=\frac{1}{20}a+9d=201​: a+9(1200)=120a+9\left(\frac{1}{200}\right)=\frac{1}{20}a+9(2001​)=201​ a+9200=10200a+\frac{9}{200}=\frac{10}{200}a+2009​=20010​ a=1200a=\frac{1}{200}a=2001​

  6. Sum of first nnn terms of an A.P.: Sn=n2[2a+(n−1)d]S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]Sn​=2n​[2a+(n−1)d]

  7. For n=200n=200n=200: S200=2002[2⋅1200+199⋅1200]S_{200}=\frac{200}{2}[2\cdot \frac{1}{200}+199\cdot \frac{1}{200}]S200​=2200​[2⋅2001​+199⋅2001​] =100(2+199200)=100\left(\frac{2+199}{200}\right)=100(2002+199​) =100⋅201200=100\cdot \frac{201}{200}=100⋅200201​ =2012=10012=\frac{201}{2}=100\frac{1}{2}=2201​=10021​

  8. Therefore, the correct option is: B\boxed{B}B​
