Ex 5.3 ,9 If the sum of first 7 terms of an AP is 49 and that of 17 terms is 289, find the sum of first n terms. We know that Sn = 𝑛/2 (2𝑎+(𝑛−1)𝑑) From (1) and (2) 7 – 3d = 17 – 8d 8d – 3d = 17 – 7 5d = 10 d = 10/5 d = 2 Putting value of d in (1) a = 7 – 3d a = 7 – 3 ×2 a = 7 – 6 a = 1 Hence, a = 1 & d = 2 We need to find sum of first n terms We can use formula Sn = 𝑛/2 (2a + (n – 1) d) = 𝑛/2 (2 ×1+(𝑛−1)2) = 𝑛/2(2+2𝑛−2) = 𝑛/2 (0 + 2n) = 𝑛/2×2𝑛 = n2
