Answer:
number of terms=40
substituting the values of a and n in a+(n-1)d, we get d.
hope it helps....

Answer :
no. of terms = 40
common difference = 40/39
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of n terms of an AP is given by
S = n/2(a+l)
where S = sum of n terms
n = no. of terms
a = first term if AP
l = last term of AP
Putting given values we get
=1000 = n/2(5+45)
=1000 = n/2(50)
=20 = n/2
=40 = n
We know that nth term of an AP is given by
t = a + (n-1)d
where t is the nth term, a is first term, and d is common difference of AP
Putting given values
45 = 5 + (40-1)d
40 = 39 (d)
40/39 = d
