Solution
The correct option is D(2490,248) Let d be the common difference.
Given: an=300 ⇒300=1+(n–1)d ⇒(n–1)=299d
The possible positive factors of d are 1,13,23,299. ⇒n=300,24,14,2
Since 15≤n≤50 ∴n=24 and d=13
Now, Sn−4=S20 ⇒S20=(202)(2+19×13) ∴S20=2490
and a20=1+19×13 ∴a20=248
Hence, (S20,a20)=(2490,248)
