This is the basic and conceptual question from Chapter name- Arithmetic Progression
Chapter number- 9
Exercise 9.6
In this question we have been given that there be an A.P.
first term a and common difference d.
Also, If an denotes its nth term and Sn is the sum of first n terms,
Now we have to find S22, if d = 22 and a22 = 149

Question 56(viii)
We know, a22 = a + 21d = 149 . . . . (1)
On putting d = 22 (given) in eq(1), we get
=> a + 21(22) = 149
=> a = 149 – 462
=> a = –313
We know, S22 = 22[a + a22] / 2
= 22[–313 + 149] / 2
= 11[164]
= 1804
Hence, the value of sum is 1804.
