Find the sum : 34 + 32 + 30 + .... + 10 


Options:
A .   300
B .   286
C .   310
D .   240
Answer: Option B
:
B

34+32+30+....+10
This sequence is an AP.
Here, a=34,d=3234=2.
Let the number of terms of the AP be n.
We know that
an=a+(n1)d.


10=34+(n1)(2)


(n1)(2)=24


n1=242=12
n=13 
Also, we know that the sum to n terms of an AP with first term a and last term l is given by
     Sn=n2(a+l).


S13=132(34+10)


    S13=286


Hence, the required sum is 286.
