If an A.P. has a = 1, tn = 20 and sn = 399, then value of n is :
A. 20 B. 32 C. 38 D. 40 Answer: Option CShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
$\begin{aligned}S_n&=\frac{1}{2}(a+l)\times n\\
\Rightarrow&399=(1+20)\times\frac{n}{2}\\
\Rightarrow&399\times2=21\times n\\
\Rightarrow& n=399\times\frac{2}{21}\\
\Rightarrow& n=19\times2\\
\Rightarrow& n=38\end{aligned}$
