Correct Answer: 279
Solution : Given: The first term is 7 and the last term is 55. Using the formula, S 9 = $\frac{n}{2}(a+l)$ 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 value of 1st and last term, ⇒ S 9 = $\frac{9}{2}$(7 + 55) ⇒ S 9 = $\frac{9}{2}$ × 62 $\therefore$ S 9 = 9 × 31 = 279 Hence, the correct answer is 279.
