Let Sn{S}_{n} denote the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression. If S10=390{S}_{10} = 390 and the ratio of the tenth and the fifth terms is 15:715: 7, then S15−S5{S}_{15} - {S}_{5} is equal to:

Options

  1. A800800
  2. B890890
  3. C790790
  4. D690690

Correct answer

C. 790790

Step-by-step solution

Given: a10a5=157\dfrac{{a}_{10}}{{a}_{5}} = \dfrac{15}{7}

⇒a+9da+4d=157⇒ \dfrac{a + 9d}{a + 4d} = \dfrac{15}{7}

⇒7a+63d=15a+60d⇒ 7a + 63d = 15a + 60d

⇒3d=8a⇒ 3d = 8a

Also, S10=390{S}_{10} = 390

⇒102[2a+9d]=390⇒ \dfrac{10}{2}\left[2a + 9d\right] = 390

⇒2a+24a=78⇒ 2a + 24a = 78

⇒a=3⇒ a = 3

⇒d=8⇒ d = 8

⇒S15−S5=152(6+14×8)−52(6+4×8)⇒ {S}_{15} - {S}_{5} = \dfrac{15}{2}\left(6 + 14 \times 8\right) - \dfrac{5}{2}\left(6 + 4 \times 8\right)

⇒S15−S5=152×118−52×38⇒ {S}_{15} - {S}_{5} = \dfrac{15}{2} \times 118 - \dfrac{5}{2} \times 38

⇒S15−S5=885−95⇒ {S}_{15} - {S}_{5} = 885 - 95

⇒S15−S5=790⇒ {S}_{15} - {S}_{5} = 790
