\begin{aligned} &\text { Sum of 21 terms } \\ &\mathrm{=\frac{21}{2}\left[2(10 a r)+20 \cdot \text { loar }^{2}\right] }\\ & \mathrm{=21 r\left(10 a r+1.00 a^{2}\right) }\\ & \mathrm{=21\left[a_{1}+(11-1) \cdot 10 a^{2}\right)} \\ & \mathrm{=21\left(a_{1}+(11-1) d\right) }\\ &\mathrm{=21 \cdot a_{11}} \\ &\therefore \text { option (A) } \end{aligned}
