The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the properties of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) and the formula for the sum of the first n terms. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that: - The sum of specific terms in an A.P. is given as: \[ T_1 + T_5 + T_{10} + T_{15} + T_{20} + T_{24} = 225 \] ### Step 2: Write the general formula for the n-th term of an A.P. The n-th term of an A.P. can be expressed as: \[ T_n = a + (n - 1)d \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ### Step 3: Express the terms in the equation Using the formula for the n-th term, we can express each term in the sum: - \( T_1 = a \) - \( T_5 = a + 4d \) - \( T_{10} = a + 9d \) - \( T_{15} = a + 14d \) - \( T_{20} = a + 19d \) - \( T_{24} = a + 23d \) ### Step 4: Substitute the terms into the equation Now, substituting these into the equation: \[ T_1 + T_5 + T_{10} + T_{15} + T_{20} + T_{24} = a + (a + 4d) + (a + 9d) + (a + 14d) + (a + 19d) + (a + 23d) \] This simplifies to: \[ 6a + (4d + 9d + 14d + 19d + 23d) = 225 \] Calculating the sum of the coefficients of \( d \): \[ 4 + 9 + 14 + 19 + 23 = 69 \] Thus, we have: \[ 6a + 69d = 225 \] ### Step 5: Rearrange the equation We can rearrange this equation to isolate \( a \) and \( d \): \[ 6a + 69d = 225 \] Dividing the entire equation by 3: \[ 2a + 23d = 75 \] ### Step 6: Find the sum of the first 24 terms The formula for the sum of the first n terms of an A.P. is: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \times (2a + (n - 1)d) \] For \( n = 24 \): \[ S_{24} = \frac{24}{2} \times (2a + 23d) = 12 \times (2a + 23d) \] Substituting \( 2a + 23d = 75 \) into the equation: \[ S_{24} = 12 \times 75 = 900 \] ### Final Answer The sum of the first 24 terms of the A.P. is: \[ \boxed{900} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the properties of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) and the formula for the sum of the first n terms. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that: - The sum of specific terms in an A.P. is given as: \[ T_1 + T_5 + T_{10} + T_{15} + T_{20} + T_{24} = 225 \] ...
