For (i)
a=1 , d=5 & l=x
Tn=x
a + (n-1)d=x
1 + (n-1)5=x
1 + 5n - 5 = x
5n - 4 = x
n= (x+4)/5
Now,
Sn = n(a+l)/2
148= (x+4)(1+x)/10
1480= x² +x + 4x + 4
0= x² +5x -1476
0= x² + 41x - 36x -1476
0 = x(x+41)-36(x+41)
0= (x+41)(x-36)
(x+41)=0 or (x-36)=0
x= -41 or x=36
Value of x can't be negative.
So, x=36
Similarly we can solve (ii) question.
