  1. A.P. 1/15, 1/12, 1/10, …
    Here, a = 1/15 and d = 1/12 – (1/15) = 1/60.
    The sum of n terms of an AP is Given by
    Sn = n/2[2a + (n -1)d]
    The sum of n terms of an AP is given by
    S_n = n/2[2a + (n – 1)d
    ⇒ S₁₁ = 11/2[2(1/15) + (11 – 1) (1/60)]
    ⇒ S₁₁ = 11/2[2/15+ 1/6] = 11/2[9/30] = 33/20.
