Question

How many terms of the A.P. 16, 14, 12, are needed to give the sum 60 ? Explain
why do we get two answers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both solutions of n are correct because the series is in decreasing order and so after few digits it goes into negative side and hence some of the positive and negative gets cancels hence both are correct.

Hope it helps.
