The first term of an $A.P. $ is $2$ and common difference is $4$. The sum of its $40$ terms will be

A

$3200$

B

$1600$

C

$200$

D

$2800$

Solution

(a) First term $a = 2$ and common difference $d = 4$ and $n = 40$.

Then ${S_n} = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n – 1)d]$

$ = 20[4 + 39 \times 4] = 20[4 + 156]$

$ = 160 \times 20 = 3200$.
