Let $S_n$ denote the sum of first $n$ terms an arithmetic progression. If $S_{20}=790$ and $S_{10}=145$, then $S_{15}-$ $S_5$ is:

The income of a person is $Rs. \,3,00,000,$ in the first year and he receives an increase of $Rs.\,10,000$ to his income per year for the next $19$ years. Find the total amount, he received in $20$ years.

Find the $9^{\text {th }}$ term in the following sequence whose $n^{\text {th }}$ term is $a_{n}=(-1)^{n-1} n^{3}$

$150$ workers were engaged to finish a piece of work in a certain number of days. $4$ workers dropped the second day, $4$ more workers dropped the third day and so on. It takes eight more days to finish the work now. The number of days in which the work was completed is

For a series $S = 1 -2 + 3\, -\, 4 … n$ terms,

Statement $-1$ : Sum of series always dependent on the value of $n$ , i.e. whether it is even or odd. 

Statement $-2$ : Sum of series is $-\frac {n}{2}$ when value of $n$ is any even integer
