In an AP, the sum of the first and last terms is 420, and the total sum is 7350. Find the number of terms.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 35

The governing formula for the sum of an arithmetic progression is S_n = n/2(a + l), where a is the first term and l is the last term. The question gives the combined value a + l = 420 and the total sum S_n = 7350, so substitute these directly: 7350 = n/2 × 420 = 210n. Dividing both sides by 210 gives n = 7350/210 = 35. Therefore, option C is correct. The common difference, first term separately, and last term separately are unnecessary here because their sum is already supplied. Options A, B, and D result from an incorrect division or substitution.
