The first term of an A.P. is 5, the last is 45 and their sum is 400. If the number of terms is n and d is the common difference, then `((n)/(d))` is equal to:

A

9

B

8

C

7

D

6

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`S_(n) = (n)/(2) (a + l) rArr 400 = (n)/(2) (5 + 45) rArr n = 16`
Again , 45 = a + (n - 1) d = 5 + 15 d
`therefore d = `(40)/(15) = (8)/(3) rArr (n)/(d) = 3""((16)/(8)) = 6`
