"1. Let b1, b2, ...., b19 be the first 19 terms of anarithmetic progression (AP) with b1+ b8 + b 12 +b19 = 224. The sum of first 19 terms of the AP is(1) 448(2) 896(3) 1064(4) 1344​

Answer»

b1, b2, b3, _ _ _, b19

are in A.P

b1 + b8 + b12 + b19 = 224

b1 = a

b8 = a + 7d

b12 = a + 11d

b19 = a + 18d

a + (a + 7d) + (a + 11d) + ( a + 18d) = 224

4a + 36D = 224

a + 9d = 56

a = 56 - 9d

sum of first 19 term

Sn = N/2 [ 2a + (n - 1) d ]

= 19/2 [ 2 ( 56 - 9d ) + (19 - 1) d ]

= 19/2 [ 112 - 18d + 18d ]

= 19 × 56

= 1064

OPTION 3 is correct
