$\green{\underline \bold{Fiven :}} \\ \tt: \implies First \: term( a_{1} ) = 5 \\ \\ \tt: \implies Last \: term( l) = 45 \\ \\ \tt: \implies Sum \: of \: nth \: term ( s_{n}) = 400 \\ \\ \red{\underline \bold{To \: Find :}} \\ \tt: \implies Number \: of \: terms(n) = ?$

• ACCORDING to GIVEN QUESTION :

$\bold{As \: we \: know\: that} \\ \tt: \implies s_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (2a + (n - 1)d) \\ \\ \tt: \implies s_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (a + a + (n - 1)d) \\ \\ \tt \circ \: l = a + (n - 1) d \\ \\ \tt: \implies s_{n} = \frac{n}{2}(a + l) \\ \\ \tt: \implies 400 = \frac{n}{2} (5 + 45) \\ \\ \tt: \implies 400 \times 2 = n \times 50 \\ \\ \tt: \implies \frac{400 \times 2}{50} = n \\ \\ \green{\tt: \implies n=16} \\ \\ \green{\tt \therefore Number \: of \: terms \: in \: ap \: s \: 16}$
