Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 64

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=700=\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}[2 \mathrm{a}+(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{d}]\)...(i) \(a_6=7 \Rightarrow a+5 d=7\)...(ii) \(\mathrm{S}_7=7 \Rightarrow \frac{7}{2}(2 \mathrm{a}+6 \mathrm{~d})=7\) \(a+3 d=1\)...(iii) Solve (ii) and (iii)…
