Detailed Solution

Given,
a1 + a4 + a7, a10, a13, a16 = 114
Formula for sum of an A.P.
     S = n2 ⋅ (a1 + an)
Where, an = the last term in the sequence
              a1 = the first term in the sequence
              n = the number of terms in the sequence
              S= Sum of the series
a1 + a4 + a7, a10, a13, a16 = 114
S = n2 ⋅ (a1 + an)
114 = 62 ⋅ (a1 + a16)
(a1 + a16) = 26 ⋅ 114
(a1 + a16) = 38
We have a1 + a6 + a11, a16
S = n2 ⋅ (a1 + an)
S = 42 ⋅ (a1 + a16)    As, (a1 + a16) = 38
S = 42 ⋅ (38)
S = 76
