In an AP, the sum of the first and last terms is 340, and the total sum is 5780. Find the number of terms.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 34

For an arithmetic progression with n terms, the sum is S_n = n/2(a + l), where a and l are the first and last terms. The question gives a + l = 340 and S_n = 5780. Substitution gives 5780 = n/2 × 340 = 170n. Dividing by 170, n = 5780/170 = 34. Hence option B is correct. The common difference and the individual values of the first and last terms are unnecessary because their sum is already supplied. Options 32, 36, and 38 can result from forgetting the factor 1/2, doubling the wrong quantity, or making an arithmetic error while dividing. The result is also reasonable because 34 × 170 equals 5780 exactly.
