The correct Answer is:
To find the 10th term of the arithmetic progression (A.P.) where the sum of the first n terms is given by \( S_n = 5n^2 + 7n \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for the sum of n terms of an A.P. The sum of the first n terms of an A.P. can be expressed as: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left(2a + (n - 1)d\right) \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ### Step 2: Set the given sum equal to the A.P. sum formula We know from the problem that: \[ S_n = 5n^2 + 7n \] Equating the two expressions gives: \[ \frac{n}{2} \left(2a + (n - 1)d\right) = 5n^2 + 7n \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Multiplying both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \[ n(2a + (n - 1)d) = 10n^2 + 14n \] Dividing both sides by \( n \) (assuming \( n \neq 0 \)): \[ 2a + (n - 1)d = 10n + 14 \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the equation Now, we can express this as: \[ 2a + nd - d = 10n + 14 \] Rearranging gives: \[ nd + 2a - d = 10n + 14 \] ### Step 5: Compare coefficients To find \( a \) and \( d \), we can compare coefficients of \( n \) and the constant terms: - Coefficient of \( n \): \( d = 10 \) - Constant term: \( 2a - d = 14 \) ### Step 6: Solve for \( a \) Substituting \( d = 10 \) into the constant term equation: \[ 2a - 10 = 14 \] Adding 10 to both sides: \[ 2a = 24 \] Dividing by 2: \[ a = 12 \] ### Step 7: Find the 10th term The formula for the nth term of an A.P. is: \[ a_n = a + (n - 1)d \] To find the 10th term \( a_{10} \): \[ a_{10} = 12 + (10 - 1) \cdot 10 \] Calculating: \[ a_{10} = 12 + 9 \cdot 10 = 12 + 90 = 102 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the 10th term of the A.P. is: \[ \boxed{102} \]
