If the first term = a
COmmon difference = d
Then, Second Term = a+d = 8
Then, Eigth Term = a+7d = 3*(a+d)+2
i.e. a+7d = 3*(a+d)+2
i.e. 2a+2 = 4d
i.e. a +1 = 2d i.e .a = 2d - 1
Also, a+d = 8
i.e. (2d-1)+d = 8
i.e. d = 3
and a = 5
First 8 terms are {5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26}
Sum of terms in A.P. = (n/2)[First term+Last Term] = (8/2)*(5+26) = 4*31 = 124
Answer: Option A

Solution
- • Since the difference of any two successive terms is a constant, so the given sequence is in Arithmetic progression.
• Now, let us assume that the first term of the A.P. is a and the common difference is d.
• Second term \(= a + d = 8 …………Eq.(i)\)
• Eighth term \(= a + 7d = 3*8 + 2 = 26 ….Eq.(ii)\)
• Subtracting second term from eighth term(or, Eq.(i) from Eq.(ii)) , we get,
- o \(6d = 18 ⟹ d = 3\)
o Thus, \(a = 8 – 3 = 5\)
