Expert Answer
In A.P, sum of 100 terms is -1, (100/2) [ 2a +99d ] = 50 [ 2a+99d ] = -1 .................(1)
where a is the first term and d is common difference. eqn.(1) can be rewritten as [ 2a + 99d ] = (-1/50) ...................(2)
Similarly if sum of 2nd, 4th, 6th .......100th terms are -1 , then (50/2) [ 2(a+d) + 49×2d ] = 1 or 2a+100d = (1/25) ...............(3)
if we solve eqns. (2) and (3), we get d = 3/50 and a = -149/50
we can write the nth term of A.P. as, tn = (-149/50)+(n-1)(3/50)
Hence the required sum = .....................(4)
In eqn.(4) we get sum of integers and sum of squares of integers from 1 to 100.
Hence the required sum as given in eqn.(4) is written as
further simplification can done by the student
