Solution
27th
\[S_n = 3 n^2 + 5n\]
\[ S_1 = 3 \left( 1 \right)^2 + 5\left( 1 \right) = 8\]
\[ \therefore a_1 = 8\]
\[ S_2 = 3 \left( 2 \right)^2 + 5\left( 2 \right) = 22\]
\[ \therefore a_1 + a_2 = 22\]
\[ \Rightarrow a_2 = 14\]
\[\text { Common difference, } d = 14 - 8 = 6\]
\[\text { Also, } a_n = 164\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + \left( n - 1 \right)d = 164\]
\[ \Rightarrow 8 + \left( n - 1 \right)6 = 164\]
\[ \Rightarrow n = 27\]
