Given that, first term, a = 5 last term, l = 45 Sum of the AP, Sn = 400 As we know, the sum of AP formula is; Sn = n/2 (a+l) 400 = n/2(5+45) 400 = n/2(50) Number of terms, n =16 As we know, the last term of AP series can be written as; l = a+(n −1)d 45 = 5 +(16 −1)d 40 = 15d Common difference, d = 40/15 = 8/3
