The sum of all the terms of the 10th row is .View written solutionFree
Correct answer: 1505
The question text appears truncated: it says
"An arithmetic progression is written in the following way ... The sum of all the terms of the 10th row is ?"
but the actual arrangement of the arithmetic progression is missing.
For such questions, the AP is usually written row-wise as:
or more generally, consecutive terms are placed in rows containing terms.
Since the stored answer is , let us verify which AP fits this pattern.
1. Number of terms in the 10th row
If rows contain:
- row 1: term
- row 2: terms
- row 3: terms
- ...
- row 10: terms
then the total number of terms before the 10th row is
So the 10th row contains the th to the th terms of the AP.
2. General sum of terms in the 10th row
Let the AP have first term and common difference . Then
Thus the 10th row terms are:
Their sum is
Now,
Hence,
So the sum of the 10th row is
3. Matching with the stored answer
We are given stored correct answer . So we need
Dividing by ,
A very natural AP satisfying this is the sequence of odd numbers:
for which
Then
which is not .
Try the AP of natural numbers:
Then , so
again not .
Now try the AP of numbers of the form
with :
This matches exactly.
So the intended AP is most likely
arranged row-wise in terms.
4. Direct verification
For the AP
the th term is
The 10th row consists of terms to .
First term of 10th row:
Last term of 10th row:
Number of terms = .
So sum is
Therefore, the sum of all terms in the 10th row is
