Q. Write three arithmetic sequences with 30 as the sum of the first five terms.

Hi, Sum of series in AP Sn=n22a+n-1dhere sum is 30 and n = 5 30 =522a+4d6 =a+2d Now if a = 0 then d= 3 so series is a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, a+4d0,3,6,9,12Now when a = 2 then d = 2 so series is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10now when d = 1 then a = 4 so series is 4,5,6,7,8

Sum(5) = (5/2)(2a + 4d) = 30?
2a + 4d = 12?
a + 2d = 6?

a = 6-2d?

so we can assign any value to d?
e.g. d = 7?
then a = 6-14 = -8?
one possible sequence is:?
-8 , -1, 6, 13, 20?
(their sum is 30)?

let d = 3?
a = 6-6 = 0?
terms are:?
0, 3, 6, 9, 12?
(their sum is 30)?
I think it is helpful for you
