उत्तर
Let the first term, common difference and the number of terms of an AP are a, d and n respectively.
Given that, first term (a) = −5 and
Last term (l) = 45
Sum of the terms of the AP = 120
⇒ Sn = 120
We know that, if last term of an AP is known, then sum of n terms of an AP is,
Sn = `n/2 (a + 1)`
⇒ 120 = `n/2(-5 + 45)`
⇒ 120 × 2 = 40 × n
⇒ n = 3 × 2
⇒ n = 6
∴ Number of terms of an AP is known, then the nth term of an AP is,
l = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ 45 = –5 + (6 – 1)d
⇒ 50 = 5d
⇒ d = 10
So, the common difference is 10.
Hence, number of terms and the common difference of an AP are 6 and 10 respectively.
