Answer:
Given that, the first and last term of an AP 1 and 11.
and the sum of its terms is 36
Let, the number of terms be n and common difference be d.
We know, the formula of n
th
term of an A.P is
t
n
=a+(n−1)d
And, the formula of term n− terms of an A.P is,
S
n
=
2
n
[2a+(n−1)d]
By the question
t
n
→1+(n−1)d=11
⇒ d=
n−1
10
...(i)
S
n
→
2
n
[2.1+(n−1)d]=36
⇒ 2+(n−1)d=
n
72
⇒ d=
n(n−1)
72−2n
....(ii)
Comparing (i) and (ii) we get,
n(n−1)
10
=
n(n−1)
72−2n
⇒ 10n=72−2n
⇒ 12n=72
⇒ n=6
Hence, the number of terms is 6
