Let the first term be 'a' Given:- a=11. Also, it is given that sum of its 1st four terms is 56, which means a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d=56 => 4a+6d = 56=> 44+6d = 56 Therefore, d=2 Again given that sum of last four terms is 112. a + (n-1) d + a + (n-2)d +...

There are 11 terms in this A.P The series is 11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31. 11+13+15+17=56 31+29+27+25=112 read less

The proof to the Rational Numbers question posted, is as follows:- A number 'n' can be partitioned without repetition in 'n-1' ways. So total number of partitions till 'n-1' let us call this j = 1/2 * (n-2) (n-1)...since there are n-2 partitions for 'n-1' Let this 'n'= p+q As the 1st term of 'n'...

Let the A.P. be a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, ... a + (n – 2) d, a + (n – 1)d. Sum of first four terms = a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + (a + 3d) = 4a + 6d Sum of last four terms = [a + (n – 4) d] + [a + (n – 3) d] + [a + (n – 2) d] + [a + n – 1) d] = 4a + (4n – 10) d According to the given condition, 4a + 6d = 56 ? 4(11) + 6d = 56 [Since a = 11 (given)] ? 6d = 12 ? d = 2 ? 4a + (4n –10) d = 112 ? 4(11) + (4n – 10)2 = 112 ?

First term is 11.Sum of first 4 terms is 4a+6d=56. That is 44+6d=56.So d=2 Sum of last four terms is 4a+d=4a+(4n-10)d=112 (4n-10)2= 112-44=68. 4n-10=34. 4n=44 Hence n=11
