Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let the first term be $a = 11$ and the common difference be $d$.The sum of the first four terms is given by: $a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + (a + 3d) = 56$.Substituting $a = 11$: $11 + (11 + d) + (11 + 2d) + (11 + 3d) = 56$.$44 + 6d = 56 \Rightarrow 6d = 12 \Rightarrow d = 2$.The last four terms of an $A.P.$ with $n$ terms are $a_{n-3}, a_{n-2}, a_{n-1}, a_n$.These are $(11 + (n-4)2), (11 + (n-3)2), (11 + (n-2)2), (11 + (n-1)2)$.Sum $= 44 + 2(4n - 10) = 112$.$44 + 8n - 20 = 112$.$8n + 24 = 112$.$8n = 88 \Rightarrow n = 11$.

The sum of the first four terms of an $A.P.$ is $56$. The sum of the last four terms is $112$. If its first term is $11$,the number of terms is
