Sum of n terms = 275 | common difference = 4
n/2(10+(n-1)4) = 275 |

2n^2 + 3n = 275

n= 11 it is +ve is accepted term

shivmking74: wrong answer dude
hukam68: it's right

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

275 = n/2 {2*5+(n-1)4}

550=n(10+4n-4)

550 =n(4n-6)

550=4n^2+6n

4n^2+6n =550

D=b^2-4ac

D= 6^2-4*4*-550

D =8836

n= -b+-√D/2a
n= -6+-√8836/2*4

n=11

negative term Will be neglect because term never be negative



Hope it's help you

shivmking74: correct answer
hukam68: how it can be correct it's is a quadratic equation it should have two roots not one
varsha1409: yes this question has 2 roots but negative answer neglected
