If the sum of the first 40 terms of the series,
3 + 4 + 8 + 9 + 13 + 14 + 18 + 19 + ..... is (102)m, then m is equal to :
Solution
3 + 4 + 8 + 9 + 13 + 14 +…….upto 40 terms
<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ 7 + 17 + 27 +…….20 terms
<br><br>S = ${{20} \over 2}$ [2 × 7 + 19 × 10]
<br><br> = 102 × 20 = 102 m
<br><br>$\therefore$ m = 20
