Correct Answer: 104
Solution : Given: The sum of the first 13 terms and the first term is –10 and the last term is 26. By using the formula, S n = $\frac{n}{2}[a+l]$ Where $a$ is the first term, $l$ is the last term of the A.P., and $n$ is the number of terms. By putting the values of 1 st and last term, we get, ⇒ S 13 = $\frac{13}{2}$[–10 + 26] ⇒ S 13 = $\frac{13}{2}$[16] $\therefore$ S 13 = 13 × 8 = 104 Hence, the correct answer is 104.
