Q40 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (16 Apr Online) · Mathematics

Let 1x1, 1x2,…,1xn(xi≠0 for i=1, 2,…., n) be in A.P. such that x1=4 and x21=20 . If n is the least positive integer for which xn>50, then ∑i=1n1xi is equal to

  • A
    3
  • B
    18
  • Correct answer
    C
    134
  • D
     138

Solution

Given 1x1,1x2,………,1xn are in A.P. and x1=4 and x21=20.

⇒a=14

Given, x21=20.

⇒14+20·d=120

⇒d=−1100

Given, xn>50.

⇒1xn<150

⇒14- n-1100< 150⇒n>24

∵ n=25

Now, ∑i=1251xi=2522×14-1100×24=134

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
