Solutions of Question 3 and 4 of Exercise 4.3 of Unit 04: Sequence and Series. This is unit of Model Textbook of Mathematics for Class XI published by National Book Foundation (NBF) as Federal Textbook Board, Islamabad, Pakistan.

Question 3

Find the sum of each series. $a_{1}=5$, $a_{n}=100$, $n=200$

FIXME Statement is logically incorrect.

Find the sum of arithmetic series with: $a_{1}=5$, $a_{n}=100$, $n=200$.

Solution. Given $a_{1}=5$, $a_{n}=100$, $n=200$.
Let $S_n$ represents sum of arithmetic series. Then \begin{align} S_n&=\frac{n}{2}[a_1+a_n] \\ \implies S_{200}&=\frac{200}{2}[5+100]\\ &=10500. \end{align} Hence $S_{200}=10500$. GOOD

Question 4

Find the sum of series. $a_{1}=4$, $n=15$, $d=3$.

FIXME Statement is logically incorrect.

Find the sum of arithmetic series with: $a_{1}=4$, $n=15$, $d=3$.

Solution.

Given: $a_{1}=4$, $n=15$, $d=3$.
Let $S_n$ represents sum of arithmetic series. Then \begin{align} S_n&=\frac{n}{2}[2a_1+(n-1)d] \\ \implies S_{15}&=\frac{15}{2}[2(4)+(15-1)(3)]\\ &=\frac{15}{2}[50]\\ &=375. \end{align} Hence $S_{15}=375$. GOOD
