There are a few problems with this question.

First, I'm assuming that AP stands for arithmetic progression. If so, the test-makers would never assume that people know this. In fact, I've never seen "arithmetic progression" in any official GMAT question or resource.

Also, the sequence 19,91,5,87/5 is confusing. Are you sure this is correct?

Finally, what do you mean by "maximum sum"?

What is the source of this question?

Cheers,
Brent
