17. The number of terms of the series 54 51 + 48 +..... suchthat thesum is 513 is(i) 18(ii) 19(iii) both (i) and (ii) (iv) 1

Answer»

a=54d=51-54=-3

Sum=513

S=(n/2)[2a+(n-1)d]513=(n/2)[2*54+(n-1)(-3)]513*2=n[108-3n+3]1026=n[111-3n]1026=111n-3n²3n²-111n+1026=0n²-37n+342=0n²-18n-19n+342=0n(n-18)-19(n-18)=0(n-18)(n-19)=0

n=18,19
