-
- Sum of A.P. Series, S= (n/2)[2a+(n-1)d]....(1)
here, n=10 d=10 S= 19560, a=first term
put all the values in (1)
19560=(10/2)[2a+(10-1)10]
19560=5[2a+(9*10)]
19560=10a+450
19560-450=10a
19110/10=a
a=1911 which is the year when first book was published - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(23) No(0)
- let 1st book published at year=x
x+(x+10)+(x+20)+(x+30)+.......++(x+90)=19560
10x+450=19560
x=1911 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(0)
