here ,

a = t1 = 42

t2 = 39

so , d = t2 - t1 = 39 - 42

= - 3

Sn = 315

find - n = ?

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

315 = n/2 [ 2 × 42 + ( n-1) -3]

630 = n [ 84 - 3n + 3]

630 = n [ 87 - 3n]

630 = 87n - 3n^2

3n^2 - 87n + 630 = 0

n^2 - 29n + 210 = 0

n^2 - 15n - 14n + 210 = 0

n(n-15) - 14( n-15) = 0

(n-15) ( n-14) = 0

(n-15) =0 or ( n-14) = 0

n = 15 or n = 14



42 , 39 , 36 , .......3 , 0

if taking 0 in account , n = 15

if not n = 14
