Hey there! Here is the solution to your question...
____________________


a = 54 d = -3 and Sn = 513

So, Sn = n/2 [2a + (n-1) d ]

1026 = n [ 108 + (n-1) (-3) ]

1026 = n [ 108 -3n + 3]

1026 = n [ 111 -3n]

1026 = 111n - 3n²

3n² - 111n + 1026 = 0

n² - 37n + 342 = 0      {DIVISION BY 3}

On Splitting we have:

n² - 19n - 18n + 342 = 0

n(n-19) - 18(n-19) = 0 

n - 19 = 0  OR n - 18 = 0

Hence, n = 18 OR 19 ANS.

a=54
d= -3
Sn=513
n=?

Sn=n/2(2a+(n-1)d)

By substituting the values

513=n/2(2*54+(n-1)-3)
513=n/2(108-3n+3)
1026=111n-3n2
3n2-111n+1026=0
n2-37n+342=0

on solving this qudratic equation you will get 
n=18,n=19
as both values of n are positive both are applicable
