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`.
