MCQ
Let $a_{1}, a_{2} \ldots, a_{n}$ be a given $A.P.$ whose common difference is an integer and $S _{ n }= a _{1}+ a _{2}+\ldots+ a _{ n }$ If $a_{1}=1, a_{n}=300$ and $15 \leq n \leq 50,$ then the ordered pair $\left( S _{ n -4}, a _{ n -4}\right)$ is equal to
  • A
    $(2480,249)$
  • B
    $(2490,249)$
  • $(2490,248)$
  • D
    $(2480,248)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(2490,248)$
c
$\quad a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1) d$

$\Rightarrow 300=1+(n-1) d$

$\Rightarrow \quad(n-1) d=299=13 \times 23$

since, $n \in[15,50]$

$\therefore n=24$ and $d=13$

$a_{n-4}=a_{20}=1+19 \times 13=248$

$\Rightarrow a_{n-4}=248$

$S_{n-4}=\frac{20}{2}\{1+248\}=2490$
