8. Sequences and Series
easy
If sum of $n$ terms of an $A.P.$ is $3{n^2} + 5n$ and ${T_m} = 164$ then $m = $
A
$26$
B
$27$
C
$28$
D
None of these
Solution
(b) Obviously,
$164 = (3{m^2} + 5m) – \{ 3{(m – 1)^2} + 5(m – 1)\} $
$ = (3{m^2} + 5m) – 3{m^2} + 6m – 3 – 5m + 5$
$ \Rightarrow $$164 = 6m + 2$
$ \Rightarrow $$m = 27$.
