The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that the sum of all 11 terms of an A.P. (Arithmetic Progression) whose middlemost term is 30 is 330. ### Step 2: Identify the Middle Term In an A.P. with 11 terms, the middle term is the 6th term. Therefore, if the middle term (T6) is given as 30, we can express this as: \[ T_6 = a + 5d = 30 \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ### Step 3: Calculate the Sum of the 11 Terms The formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an A.P. is: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \times (a + l) \] where \( l \) is the last term. For 11 terms, we have: \[ S_{11} = \frac{11}{2} \times (a + l) \] ### Step 4: Express the Last Term The last term \( l \) can be expressed as: \[ l = a + 10d \] Thus, we can rewrite the sum as: \[ S_{11} = \frac{11}{2} \times (a + (a + 10d)) \] \[ S_{11} = \frac{11}{2} \times (2a + 10d) \] \[ S_{11} = \frac{11}{2} \times 2(a + 5d) \] \[ S_{11} = 11(a + 5d) \] ### Step 5: Substitute the Middle Term Since we know from the assertion that \( a + 5d = 30 \), we can substitute this into the sum: \[ S_{11} = 11 \times 30 = 330 \] ### Conclusion The assertion is correct: the sum of all 11 terms of the A.P. is indeed 330. ### Step 6: Analyze the Reason The reason states that the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an A.P. is given by \( S_n = \frac{n}{2} (a + l) \), but it incorrectly claims that \( l \) is the middle term. In fact, \( l \) is the last term of the A.P., not the middle term. ### Final Answer - Assertion (A) is true. - Reason (R) is false.
