Detailed Solution

We known that in an A.P the sum of the terms

equidistant  from the beginning and end is always same and is equal to

the sum of first and last term, ie. a1+an=a2+an1=a3+an2=.....

So if an A.P. consists  of 24 terms, then 

a1+a24=a3+a20=a10+a15a1+a5+a10+a15+a20+a24=225a1+a24=2253=75

S24=242a1+a24usingSn=n2a1+an=12(75)=900( using (i))
