Write the general term of the expression.
Tr+1=256Cr3(256-r)/25r/3

The non integral part of this term is= 3(256-r)/25r/3
Hence the value of r should be such that it gives a whole number in the power of 3 and 5.
i.e.(256-r)/2 and r/3 should give positive integral values. The values possible are
r= 0,6, 12, 18.................252
We get an AP in the values of r satisfying these conditions where a=0, d=6 and an=252.
Find the value of n to get the answer.
