The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the information given and use properties of arithmetic progressions (A.P.). ### Step 1: Understand the terms of the A.P. In an arithmetic progression, the nth term \( T_n \) can be expressed as: \[ T_n = a + (n-1)d \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ### Step 2: Write down the given equation We are given: \[ T_1 + T_5 + T_{10} + T_{15} + T_{20} + T_{24} = 225 \] ### Step 3: Express each term in terms of \( a \) and \( d \) Using the formula for the nth term: - \( T_1 = a \) - \( T_5 = a + 4d \) - \( T_{10} = a + 9d \) - \( T_{15} = a + 14d \) - \( T_{20} = a + 19d \) - \( T_{24} = a + 23d \) ### Step 4: Substitute these into the equation Substituting these expressions into the equation gives: \[ a + (a + 4d) + (a + 9d) + (a + 14d) + (a + 19d) + (a + 23d) = 225 \] ### Step 5: Combine like terms Combining all the terms: \[ 6a + (4d + 9d + 14d + 19d + 23d) = 225 \] Calculating the sum of the coefficients of \( d \): \[ 4 + 9 + 14 + 19 + 23 = 69 \] Thus, we have: \[ 6a + 69d = 225 \] ### Step 6: Simplify the equation Dividing the entire equation by 3: \[ 2a + 23d = 75 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 7: Find the sum of the first 24 terms The sum \( S_n \) of the first \( n \) terms of an A.P. is given by: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} (a + l) \] where \( l \) is the last term. For the first 24 terms: \[ S_{24} = \frac{24}{2} (T_1 + T_{24}) = 12 (T_1 + T_{24}) \] ### Step 8: Express \( T_{24} \) Using the formula for \( T_{24} \): \[ T_{24} = a + 23d \] Thus: \[ T_1 + T_{24} = a + (a + 23d) = 2a + 23d \] ### Step 9: Substitute into the sum formula Now substituting back into the sum formula: \[ S_{24} = 12 (2a + 23d) \] ### Step 10: Use Equation 1 From Equation 1, we know \( 2a + 23d = 75 \): \[ S_{24} = 12 \times 75 = 900 \] ### 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 break down the information given and use properties of arithmetic progressions (A.P.). ### Step 1: Understand the terms of the A.P. In an arithmetic progression, the nth term \( T_n \) can be expressed as: \[ T_n = a + (n-1)d \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ...
