उत्तर
Let there be n terms of this A.P.
For this A.P., a = 9
d = a2 − a1
= 17 − 9
= 8
`S_n = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]`
`636 = n/2[2 xx 9 + (-1)8]`
⇒ 636 = 9n + 4n2 − 4n
⇒ 4n2 + 5n − 636 = 0
⇒ 4n2 + 53n − 48n − 636 = 0
⇒ n(4n + 53) − 12(4n + 53) = 0
⇒ (4n + 53) (n − 12) = 0
⇒ 4n + 53 = 0 or n − 12 = 0
⇒ n = `(-53)/4` or n = 12
As the number of terms can neither be negative nor fractional, therefore, n = 12 only.
