JEE Main 2025 — 28 January, Morning Shift — Question 11

Let TrT_{r} be the rth r^{\text {th }} term of an A.P. If for some mm, Tm=125, T25=120\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{1}{25}, \mathrm{~T}_{25}=\frac{1}{20} and

20∑r=125 Tr=1320 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{25} \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{r}}=13, then 5 m∑r=m2 m Tr5 \mathrm{~m} \sum_{\mathrm{r}=\mathrm{m}}^{2 \mathrm{~m}} \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{r}} is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    112

  2. Option B:

    126

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    98

  4. Option D:

    142

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Tm=125, T25=120,20∑r=125 Tr=13\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{1}{25}, \mathrm{~T}_{25}=\frac{1}{20},20\sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{25} \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{r}}=13

Tm=a+(m−1)d=125\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{a}+(\mathrm{m}-1) \mathrm{d}=\frac{1}{25}

T25=a+24 d=120\mathrm{T}_{25}=\mathrm{a}+24 \mathrm{~d}=\frac{1}{20}

252[a+120]=13⇒a=1500\frac{25}{2}\left[a+\frac{1}{20}\right]=13 \Rightarrow a=\frac{1}{500}

also, 20 S25=20⋅252[2a+24 d]=13⇒ d=150020 \mathrm{~S}_{25}=20 \cdot \frac{25}{2}[2 \mathrm{a}+24 \mathrm{~d}]=13 \Rightarrow \mathrm{~d}=\frac{1}{500}

from (1) 1500+m−1500=125⇒m=20\frac{1}{500}+\frac{m-1}{500}=\frac{1}{25} \Rightarrow m=20

Now,

5 m∑r=m2 m Tr=100∑r=2040 Tr=1265 \mathrm{~m} \sum_{\mathrm{r}=\mathrm{m}}^{2 \mathrm{~m}} \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{r}}=100 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=20}^{40} \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{r}}=126
