Expert Answer
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of A.P
Fourth term of A.P = a + 3d
Eighth term of A.P. = a + 7d
Sum of fourth term and eighth term = 2 a + 10 d = 54
Hence , we get , a + 5 d = 27 ........................(1)
Product of fourth term and eight term is 665.
Hence we have , ( a + 3d ) ( a + 7d ) = 665
Let us eliminate first term of A.P , i.e. a in above expression ( 2) using eqn.(1)
[ ( 27- 5d ) + 3d ] [ (27-5d) + 7d ) = 665
( 27 - 2d) ( 27 + 2d ) = 665
729 - 4 d2 = 665
hence we get d = 4
by substituting d in eqn.(1) , we get a = 7
sum S of 30 terms is determined from following formula
S = (n/2) [ 2 a + (n-1) d ]
where n is number of terms.
Sum of 30 terms = (30/2) [ 14 + 29 × 4 ] = 1950
