    B 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Given, a + 2d = 9 .................(i) (a+6d) – (a + d) = 20 5d = 20 d = 4 Put the value of ‘d’ in equation (i), we get a + 8 = 9 a = 1 Now, 120 = n/2 (2+(n-1)4) 120 = n/2 (4n-2) On solving, n = 8
