Let A = \ 1, a _ 1 , a _ 2 a _ 18 , 77\ be a set of integers with 1...
Let be a set of integers with . Let the set contain exactly elements. Then, the value of is equal to ______.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
If we write the elements of , we can certainly find 39 distinct elements as (1+1,1+a_1, 1+a_2, \ldots .1) (+a_{18}, 1+77, a_1+77, a_2+77, \ldots \ldots a_{18}+77,77+77). It means all other sums are already present in these 39 values, which is only possible in case when all numbers are in A.P.
Let the common difference be ' '.
(77=1+19 d \Rightarrow d=4)
So, (\sum_{i=1}^{18} a_1=\frac{18}{2}\left[2 a_1+17 d\right]=9[10+68]=702)
