The sum of `25` terms of an `A.P.`, whose all the terms are natural numbers, lies between `1900` and `2000` and its `9^(th)` term is `55`. Then the first term of the `A.P.` is

A

A. `5`

B

B. `6`

C

C. `7`

D

D. `8`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(c )` Let the first term be `a` and the common difference `d`.
Then it is given that `a+8d=55` and ……..`(i)`
`1900 lt (25)/(2)(2a+24d) lt 2000`
`:.1900 lt 25(a+12d) lt 2000`
`implies1900 lt 25(a+8d)+25xx4d lt 2000`
`implies1900 lt 25xx55+100d lt 2000`
`implies(525)/(100) lt d lt (625)/(100)`
`impliesd=6` as `d` is an integar
`:. a=55-8xx6=7`
