The sum of first 10 terms is 72.

Concept: Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers in order, in which the difference between any two consecutive numbers is a constant value. It is also called Arithmetic Sequence.

Arithmetic Progression Formula

= an – a. nth term of an AP: an = a + (n – 1)d. Sum of n terms of an AP: Sn = n/2(2a+(n-1)d) = n/2(a + l), where l is the last term of the arithmetic progression.

Eighth term is 8.2

Common difference is 0.4

a(8) = 8.2

a + 7d = 8.2

Since d = 0.4

a + 7(0.4) =8.2

Sum of 10 terms = n/2 (2a+(n-1)d)

= 5(2*5.4 + 9*0.4)

=5(10.8 +3.6)
