Options
- A1540
- B1064
- C3125
- D1980
Correct answer
B. 1064
Step-by-step solution
a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , . . . . . . , a 19 are in A . P . ⇒ S = a 1 + a 2 + . . . . . . + a 18 + a 19 = 19 2 a 1 + a 19 Given, a 4 + a 8 + a 12 + a 16 = 224 ⇒ a 1 + 3 d + a 1 + 7 d + a 19 - 7 d + a 19 - 3 d = 224 ⇒ 2 a 1 + a 19 = 224 ⇒ a 1 + a 19 = 112 ⇒ 19 2 a 1 + a 19 = 19 2 × 112 ⇒ S = 19 2 × 112 = 19 × 56 = 1064
