Answer:

Values of n = 16 and

Values of n = 16 and d = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a , d , l are first term , common difference and last term of an A.P , respectively.

given ,

a = 5, l = 45

We know that,

\boxed {last \:term \:(l)=a+(n-1)d }

Substitute values of a and l , we get,

=> 45 = 5+(n-1)d

=> 45-5 = (n-1)d

=> (n-1)d=40 ----(1)

\boxed {Sum\: of\: n\: terms \:(S_{n})\\= \frac{n}{2}(a+l)}

S_{n}=400\* given *\

\implies \frac{n}{2}(5+45)=400

\implies n\times \frac{50}{2}=400

\implies n = 400 \times \frac{2}{50}

\implies n = 8 \times 2

\implies n = 16

Now ,

Substitute n=16 in equation (1), we get

(16-1)d = 40

=> 15d =40

=> d = 40/15

=> d = 8/3

Therefore,

Values of n = 16 and

d = 8/3
