Step 1
Given
First term of A.P ( a 1 ) = 17
Last term of A.P ( a n ) = 350
Common defference ( d ) = 9
Step 2
finding the number of terms and their sum
a n = 350
a 1 + ( n 1 ) d = 350
17 + ( n 1 ) 9 = 350
( n 1 ) 9 = 350 17
( n 1 ) 9 = 333
( n 1 ) = 333 9
n 1 = 37
= 37 + 1
= 37 + 1
there are 38 terns in A.P
WKT
Some to n terns S n = n 2 [ a + 1 ]
= 38 2 [ 17 + 350 ]
= 19 [ 367 ] = 6973
The sum to 38 terms=6973

Given:
First term ( a ) = 17
Last term ( l ) = a n = 350
and common difference ( d ) = 9
a n = 350
a + ( n 1 ) d = 350
17 + ( n 1 ) 9 = 350
9 ( n 1 ) = 350 17 = 333
n 1 = 333 9 = 37
n = 38
Now, S n = n 2 ( a + 1 )
= 38 2 ( 17 + 350 )
= 19 × 367 = 6973
Hence, n = 38 & sum of term S n = 6973
