13 th ter of an AP is 4 times its 3rd term .if 5 th term is 16 then find sum of its first ten terms

Expert Answer
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of given A.P
13th term t13 = a+12d
3rd term t3 = a+2d
we are given : a+12d = 4(a+2d) or 3a = 4d or a/d = 4/3 ...........................(1)
5th term, t5 = a+4d = 16 ...........................(2)
Using eqn.(1) in eqn.(2) (4/3)d+4d = 16 .....(3)
solving eqn.(3) for d, we get d = 3 ; hence a =(4/3)×3 = 4
Hence sum of first ten terms, S10 = (10/2)[ 2×4 + 9×3 ] = 175
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second question:
Sum of seven terms = S7 = (7/2) [ 2a + 6d ] = 182 or a+3d = 26 .....................(1)
By substituting a in eqn.(1), we get a =2 and d=8
Hence A.P is with first term a =2 and common difference d = 8
