उत्तर
It is given that,
a = – 5
l = 45
Sn = 120
Now,
\[S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left( a + l \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow 120 = \frac{n}{2}\left( - 5 + 45 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow 120 = \frac{n}{2}\left( 40 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow 120 \times 2 = n\left( 40 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow 240 = n\left( 40 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow n = \frac{240}{40}\]
\[ \Rightarrow n = 6\]
Hence, there are 6 terms.
Also,
\[l = a + \left( 6 - 1 \right)d\]
\[ \Rightarrow 45 = - 5 + 5d\]
\[ \Rightarrow 45 + 5 = 5d\]
\[ \Rightarrow 5d = 50\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence, the common difference is 10.

Find the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4.
Activity: Natural numbers between 1 to 140 divisible by 4 are, 4, 8, 12, 16,......, 136
Here d = 4, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 4, d = 4, tn = 136, Sn = ?
tn = a + (n – 1)d
`square` = 4 + (n – 1) × 4
`square` = (n – 1) × 4
n = `square`
Now,
Sn = `"n"/2["a" + "t"_"n"]`
Sn = 17 × `square`
Sn = `square`
Therefore, the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4 is `square`.
