Answer

1220

Work Step by Step

The given series = 4, 10, 16, 22 Common difference d = 22 - 16 = 16 - 10 = 10 - 4 = 6 $1^{st}$ term ($a_{1}$) = 4 To solve this type question, first find the $20^{th}$ term, after that find the sum. $20^{th}$ term = $a_{1}$ + (20 - 1) d = 4 + 19 $\times$6 = 4 + 114 = 118 Sum of all terms = $\frac{n}{2}$($a_{1}$ + $a_{n}$) Sum of first 20 terms = $\frac{20}{2}$(4 + 118) = $\frac{20}{2}$(122) = 10$\times$122 = 1220
