1 + 2 +  {2}^{2}  +  {2}^{3}  + ... + n = 1025

Lets compare first two terms,
2:1 = 2

then 2nd and third,
4:2=2

You'll notice that this ratio remains constant.

Therefore,
the terms are in GP aka geometric progression.

Now for sum till n terms in a GP is given by,

a =  (\frac{ {r}^{n}  - 1}{r - 1} ) \:  \:  \: for \: r > 0

where a is the sum and r is common ratio and n is the no. of terms,
Equating these two after subsituting the values,

 \frac{ {2}^{n} - 1 }{2 - 1}  = 1025 \\  {2}^{n}  - 1 = 1025 \\  {2}^{n}  = 1024 \\  {2}^{n}  =  {2}^{10}  \\  \\ n = 10
Therefore we have n as 10.
