Given that AP is 27, 24, 21 …
a = 27 ; d = 24 - 27 = (-3)
Sn=n2(2a+(n−1)d)
Since the sum is 0,
⇒n2(2×27+(n−1)(−3))=0
⇒n(54−3n+3)=0
⇒n(57−3n)=0
⇒n=0 and 57−3n=0
⇒57=3n
∴n=0 and n=19
Since the number of terms cannot be equal to 0, so n = 19
How many terms of an AP 27, 24, 21, ... are required to get the sum as 0?
How many terms of the A.P. 27, 24, 21, ... are required to get the sum as 0?
How many terms of the AP: 9, 17, 25, ... must be added to get a sum of 636?___
