The correct option is A. 2483

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

8, 15, 22 .........

First, find the common difference (d) = 15 - 8 = 7

We can calculate the sum of the arithmetic sequence using the formula below:


Sn=(n)/(2)\lbrack(2a+(n-1)d\rbrack

Where a is the first term, n is the number of term and d is the common difference.

n = 26 a = 8 and d=7

Substitute the values into the formula and evaluate.


S_(26)=(26)/(2)\lbrack2(8)+(26-1)7\rbrack
=13\lbrack16+25(7)\rbrack
=13\lbrack16+175\rbrack
=13(191)
=2483

Hence, the correct option is A. 2483
