  2. B \(11280\)
  3. C \(11290\)
  4. D \(11260\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(11290\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(S _{ n }=5+8+14+23+35+50+\ldots+a_n\) \(S _{ n }=5+8+14+23+35+\ldots+ a _{ n }\) \(O =5+3+6+9+12+15+\ldots . a _{ n }\) \(a _{ n }=5+(3+6+9+\ldots( n -1) \text { terms })\) \(a _{ n }=\frac{3 n ^2-3 n +10}{2}\) \(a _{40}=\frac{3(40)^2-3(40)+10}{2}=2345\)…
