Explanation Given Information: The arithmetic series, ∑ j = 1 10 ( 6 − j ) Formula used: The sum ( S n ) of first n terms of an arithmetic progression is, S n = n 2 ( a 1 + a n ) Here, a 1 and a n are first and n th term of the arithmetic progression. Calculation: Consider the arithmetic series, ∑ j = 1 10 ( 6 − j ) To find the value of a 1 Take j = 1 , Then, a 1 = 6 − j = 6 − 1 =
