If the n ^ th term of a sequence is 2 n+5 7 , then what is the sum of its first 140 terms?
Options
- A2840
- B2780
- C2920
- D5700
Correct answer
C. 2920
Step-by-step solution
Given, t _ n = 2 n +5 7 Since, t ₁₄₀= 2 140+5 7 = 285 7 t ₁= 2 1+5 7 = 7 7 Now, S ₁₄₀= 140 2 ( t ₁+ t ₁₄₀ )=70 ( 7 7 + 285 7 )=2920
