The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the values of the first term \( a \) and the common difference \( d \) of the arithmetic progression (AP) based on the given conditions. ### Step 1: Use the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an AP The formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an arithmetic progression is given by: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left( 2a + (n - 1)d \right) \] For the first 100 terms, we have: \[ S_{100} = \frac{100}{2} \left( 2a + (100 - 1)d \right) = 50(2a + 99d) \] According to the problem, \( S_{100} = -1 \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 50(2a + 99d) = -1 \] Dividing both sides by 50 gives: \[ 2a + 99d = -\frac{1}{50} \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 2: Find the sum of the even terms The even terms in the first 100 terms of the AP are \( a_2, a_4, a_6, \ldots, a_{100} \). The first even term is \( a_2 = a + d \) and the common difference for the even terms is \( 2d \). There are 50 even terms. The sum of these even terms can be calculated as: \[ S_{even} = \frac{n}{2} \left( 2a_2 + (n - 1) \cdot \text{(common difference)} \right) \] Substituting \( n = 50 \), \( a_2 = a + d \), and common difference \( 2d \): \[ S_{even} = \frac{50}{2} \left( 2(a + d) + (50 - 1) \cdot 2d \right) = 25 \left( 2(a + d) + 98d \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ S_{even} = 25(2a + 2d + 98d) = 25(2a + 100d) \] According to the problem, \( S_{even} = 1 \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 25(2a + 100d) = 1 \] Dividing both sides by 25 gives: \[ 2a + 100d = \frac{1}{25} \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the system of equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( 2a + 99d = -\frac{1}{50} \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 2a + 100d = \frac{1}{25} \) (Equation 2) We can subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2: \[ (2a + 100d) - (2a + 99d) = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{50} \] This simplifies to: \[ d = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{50} \] Finding a common denominator (which is 50): \[ d = \frac{2}{50} + \frac{1}{50} = \frac{3}{50} \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( d \) back to find \( a \) Substituting \( d = \frac{3}{50} \) back into Equation 1: \[ 2a + 99 \cdot \frac{3}{50} = -\frac{1}{50} \] This simplifies to: \[ 2a + \frac{297}{50} = -\frac{1}{50} \] Subtracting \( \frac{297}{50} \) from both sides gives: \[ 2a = -\frac{1}{50} - \frac{297}{50} = -\frac{298}{50} \] Thus: \[ a = -\frac{149}{50} \] ### Step 5: Find the 100th term The 100th term \( a_{100} \) can be found using the formula: \[ a_{100} = a + 99d \] Substituting the values of \( a \) and \( d \): \[ a_{100} = -\frac{149}{50} + 99 \cdot \frac{3}{50} \] Calculating this gives: \[ a_{100} = -\frac{149}{50} + \frac{297}{50} = \frac{148}{50} = \frac{74}{25} \] ### Conclusion Now we have: - Common difference \( d = \frac{3}{50} \) - First term \( a = -\frac{149}{50} \) - 100th term \( a_{100} = \frac{74}{25} \)

To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the values of the first term \( a \) and the common difference \( d \) of the arithmetic progression (AP) based on the given conditions. ### Step 1: Use the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an AP The formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an arithmetic progression is given by: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left( 2a + (n - 1)d \right) \] For the first 100 terms, we have: ...
