Easy INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2025

Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{2024}$ be an Arithmetic Progression such that $a_1+\left(a_5+a_{10}+a_{15}+\ldots+a_{2020}\right)+a_{2024}=2233$. Then $a_1+a_2+a_3+\ldots+a_{2024}$ is equal to _________.

Answer (integer) 11132

Solution

<p>$$\mathrm{a}_1+\mathrm{a}_5+\mathrm{a}_{10}+\ldots \ldots+\mathrm{a}_{2020}+\mathrm{a}_{2024}=2233$$</p> <p>In an A.P. the sum of terms equidistant from ends is equal.</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & a_1+a_{2024}=a_5+a_{2020}=a_{10}+a_{2015} \ldots \ldots \\ & \Rightarrow 203 \text { pairs } \\ & \Rightarrow 203\left(a_1+a_{2024}\right)=2233 \end{aligned}$$</p> <p>Hence,</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{S}_{2024}=\frac{2024}{2}\left(\mathrm{a}_1+\mathrm{a}_{2024}\right) \\ = & 1012 \times 11 \\ = & 11132 \end{aligned}$$</p>
