  1. The first term of an Arithmetic Progression is 22 and the last term is – 11. If the sum is 66, the number of terms in the sequenceis
    1. 10
    2. 12
    3. 9
    4. 8
Correct Option: B

Let Number of terms = n
First term (a) = 22
Last term (L) = –11
Sum (S) = 66

∴ S =
n
(a + L)
2

⇒ 66 =
n
(22 - 11)
2

⇒ 66 =
11n
2

⇒ 11n = 66 × 2
⇒ n =
66 × 2
= 12
11
