Let a1=8,a2,a3,….an{a}_{1} = 8, {a}_{2}, {a}_{3}, \ldots . {a}_{n} be an A.P. If the sum of its first four terms is 5050 and the sum of its last four terms is 170170 , then the product of its middle two terms is _____ .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Let the common difference of an A.P. be dd, then

a1+a2+a3+a4=50{a}_{1} + {a}_{2} + {a}_{3} + {a}_{4} = 50

⇒4a+6d=50⇒ 4a + 6d = 50

⇒32+6d=50⇒ 32 + 6d = 50

⇒d=3⇒ d = 3

Also,

an−3+an−2+an−1+an=170{a}_{n - 3} + {a}_{n - 2} + {a}_{n - 1} + {a}_{n} = 170

⇒4a+(4n−10)⋅d=170⇒ 4a + \left(4n - 10\right) \cdot d = 170

⇒32+(4n−10)⋅3=170⇒ 32 + \left(4n - 10\right) \cdot 3 = 170

⇒n=14⇒ n = 14

So, middle terms are

a7=a+6d=26,a8=a+7d=29{a}_{7} = a + 6d = 26, {a}_{8} = a + 7d = 29

⇒a7⋅a8=754⇒ {a}_{7} \cdot {a}_{8} = 754
