Correct answer: 754
-
Let the A.P. have first term and common difference .
Then the terms are
\quad a_2=8+d, \quad a_3=8+2d, \dots, \quad a_n=8+(n-1)d.$$ -
Use the sum of the first four terms.
-
Now use the sum of the last four terms.
The last four terms are:
Since , So,
Their sum is given as :
-
Since , the sequence has 14 terms, so the middle two terms are the 7th and 8th terms.
-
Their product is
Therefore, the required product is
