In a arithmetic progression sum of first four terms sum :
a1+a2+a3+a4=124
and sum of last four terms :
an+an−1+an−2+an−3=156
and sum of arithmetic progression is :
Sn=350
n=?
How to find n? I tried using arithmetic progression sum formulas but getting negative or fractional numbers.
Answer
One has a1+a2+a3+a4+an−3+an−2+an−1+an=280. The mean of those
eight terms is 35, so the mean of a1,…,an is also 35. The sum
of those n terms is n times their mean, and is 350. So now you can read
off n.
