If the `10^(th)` term of an A.P. is `1/5` and its `20^(th)` term is `1/3` , then the sum of its first 150 terms is:

A

159

B

161

C

164

D

167

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`T_(10) = 1/5 = a + 9d" "....(1)`
`T_(20) = 1/3 = a+19d" "....(2)`
`a=6/(75) , d=1/(75)`
Hence , `S_(150) =(150)/2 [(12)/(75) + (149)/(75) ] =161`
