Let the sum of the first \(n\) terms of an A.P. be \(3n^2 + 5n\). Then the sum of squares of the first \(10\) terms of the A.P. is:

  1. A \(10220\)
  2. B \(12860\)
  3. C \(15220\)
  4. D \(19780\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(15220\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the sum of the first \(n\) terms of the A.P. is \(S_n = 3n^2 + 5n\). The \(n\)-th term of the A.P. is given by: \(T_n = S_n - S_{n-1}\) \(T_n = (3n^2 + 5n) - [3(n-1)^2 + 5(n-1)]\) \(T_n = 3n^2 + 5n - [3(n^2 - 2n + 1) + 5n - 5]\)…
