The first term of an AP is 5, the last term is 45 and the sum is 400. Find the number of terms and the common difference. |

Answer» Here, first term of AP,` a = 5` Last termof AP,`l = 45` Sum of AP, `S = 400` We know, `S = n/2(a+l) =>400 = n/2(45+5)=>n = 8**2 = 16` So, number of terms is `16`. As, last term is `45`, we can write, `5+(16-1)d = 45` `d = 40/15 = 8/3` So, common difference is `8/3`. |
