उत्तर
First term a = 5
Last term l = 45
Sum of terms = 1000
Let there be n terms in this A.P.
Now, sum of first n terms = `n/2 [a + l]`
`=> 1000 = n/2 [5 + 45]`
`=>` 2000 = n × 50
`=>` n = 40
l = a + (n – 1)d
`=>` 45 = 5 + (40 – 1)d
`=>` 40 = 39d
`=> d = 40/39`
Hence, number of terms are 40 and common difference is `40/39`.
