How many terms of the A.P. 25, 22, 19, .... are needed to give the sum 116 ? Also find the last term.

Let the number of terms required be n. For the given A.P., a = 25, d = 22 - 25 = -3, S n = 116 By formula, S n = Since, number of terms will be a natural number so n ≠ ∴ n = 8. By formula S n = ⇒ 116 = ⇒ 116 = 4[25 + l] ⇒ 29 = 25 + l ⇒ 29 - 25 = l ⇒ l = 4. Hence, number of terms = 8 and the last term = 4.

The first and the last terms of an A.P. are 17 and 350 respectively. If the common difference is 9, how many terms are there and what is their sum?
