let A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 ......A n be n Arithmetic means are instead between 20 and 80. i.e., 20 , A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 ......A n 80. ∴ The Arithmetic Progression consist of ' n + 2 'terms. let 'd' be the common difference. The first term a = 20 The last term L = 80. but the last term is T n + 2 = a + (n + 2 − 1)d = a + (n + 1)d T n + 2 = 80 a + (n + 1)d = 80 20 + (n + 1)d = 80 (n + 1)d = 60 d=60/n+1 Given that the ratio of the first mean to the last mean is 1:3 i.e.,A1/An=1/3
20 + d/20 + nd=1/3 (A n = T n + 1 = a + nd) 20 +60/n+1/20+n.60/n+1 3(n + 4) = (4n + 1) 3n + 12 = 4n + 1 n = 11.

hi bollu srinivas.. The Arithmetic Progression consist of ' n + 2 'terms.let 'd' be the common difference.The first term a = 20The last term L = 80.but the last term is T n + 2 = a + (n + 2 − 1)d= a + (n + 1)dT n + 2 = 80a + (n + 1)d = 8020 + (n + 1)d = 80(n + 1)d = 60d=60/n+1

Srinivas, The solution of above question is 11.It is from you can do the problem by the formula of arithematic mean and take ratio.
