  4. D \(751\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(754\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4=50\) \(\Rightarrow 32+6 d=50\) \(\Rightarrow d=3\) and, \(a_{n-3}+a_{n-2}+a_{n-1}+a_n=170\) \(\Rightarrow 32+(4 n -10) \cdot 3=170\) \(\Rightarrow n =14\) \(a _7=26, a _8=29\) \(\Rightarrow a _7 \cdot a _8=754\)
