The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( k \) when the sum of the terms \( a_1, a_3, a_5, \ldots, a_{23} \) of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) is expressed as \( k a_1 \), given that the sum of the first 11 terms of the A.P. is 0. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Sum of the First 11 Terms of A.P.**: The sum of the first \( n \) terms of an A.P. can be calculated using the formula: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left(2a_1 + (n-1)d\right) \] For the first 11 terms, we have \( n = 11 \): \[ S_{11} = \frac{11}{2} \left(2a_1 + 10d\right) = 0 \] 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: Since \( S_{11} = 0 \): \[ \frac{11}{2} (2a_1 + 10d) = 0 \] This implies: \[ 2a_1 + 10d = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2a_1 = -10d \quad \Rightarrow \quad a_1 = -5d \] 3. **Finding the Terms of the New A.P.**: The new sequence we are interested in is \( a_1, a_3, a_5, \ldots, a_{23} \). This sequence consists of the odd-indexed terms of the original A.P. The general term of the A.P. is given by: \[ a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d \] For odd terms: \[ a_1, a_3, a_5, \ldots, a_{23} \] The \( n \)-th odd term can be expressed as: \[ a_{2n-1} = a_1 + (2n-2)d \] 4. **Determining the Number of Terms**: The last term \( a_{23} \) corresponds to \( n = 12 \) (since \( 1, 3, 5, \ldots, 23 \) gives us 12 terms). 5. **Calculating the Sum of the New A.P.**: The sum of the first 12 odd-indexed terms is: \[ S_{12} = \frac{12}{2} \left(2a_1 + (12-1)(2d)\right) = 6 \left(2a_1 + 11 \cdot 2d\right) \] Simplifying this: \[ S_{12} = 6 \left(2a_1 + 22d\right) \] 6. **Substituting \( a_1 \)**: We already found \( a_1 = -5d \): \[ S_{12} = 6 \left(2(-5d) + 22d\right) = 6 \left(-10d + 22d\right) = 6 \cdot 12d = 72d \] 7. **Expressing in Terms of \( a_1 \)**: Since \( a_1 = -5d \), we can express \( d \) in terms of \( a_1 \): \[ d = -\frac{a_1}{5} \] Substituting this into the sum: \[ S_{12} = 72 \left(-\frac{a_1}{5}\right) = -\frac{72}{5} a_1 \] 8. **Finding \( k \)**: From the expression \( S_{12} = k a_1 \), we have: \[ k = -\frac{72}{5} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( k \) is: \[ \boxed{-\frac{72}{5}} \]
