LetA1,A2,A3be the three A.P. with the same common differencedand having their first terms asA,A+1, A+2, respectively. Leta,b,cbe the7th ,9th ,17th terms ofA1, A2, A3, respectively such thata712b171c171+70=0. Ifa=29, then the sum of first20terms of an AP whose first term isc-a-band common difference isd12, is equal to _____ .

Answer:
495
Solution:

From the definition of A.P., we have

a=A+6d   ....i

b=A+1+8d   ....ii

c=A+2+16d   ....iii

Now, we are given

a712b171c171+70=0

A+6d712A+2+16d171A+2+16d171+70=0

A+6d712+4d3-1-A00+70=0

10A+70=0

A=-7

So,

a=A+6d

29=-7+6d

d=6

c-a-b=1+2d-A=13+7=20

And, d12=612=12

So,

S20=20240+19×12=5×99=495
