  1. Given that,

    First term, a = 17

    Last term, l = 350

    Common difference, d = 9

    Let there be n terms in the A.P., thus the formula for last term can be written as;

    l = a+(n −1)d

    350 = 17+(n −1)9

    333 = (n−1)9

    (n−1) = 37

    n = 38

    Sn = n/2 (a+l)

    S38 = 13/2 (17+350)

    = 19×367

    = 6973

    Thus, this A.P. contains 38 terms and the sum of the terms of this A.P. is 6973.
