What is the difference between the sum of the first 20 terms and the next 20 terms of the arithmetic sequence 6, 10, 14, …?
For the arithmetic sequence,
a = 6
d = 10-6 = 4
Sn =
…(eq)1
Sum of first 20 terms = S20
Sum of next 20 terms = S40-s20
Substituting values in eq1
S20 = ![]()
= 10× 88
= 880
S40 = ![]()
= 20× 168
= 3360
Sum of first 20 terms = S20 = 880
Sum of next 20 terms = S40-s20 = 3360-880 = 2480
∴ Difference between sum of first 20 terms = 2480-880 = 1600
And next 20 terms
Hence, answer is found out.
