Hello aspirant,
Sorry for the wrong answer issued earlier. The answer will be 5 instead of 4.
The question is:
{2(n-1)*(n+1-1)}/2= 20
The answer is done as follows-
=> (n-1)*(n-1+1)= 20
=> n(n-1)= 20
=> n^2-n-20= 0
=> n^2-5n+4n-20= 0
=> (n^2-5n)*(4n-20)= 0
=> n(n-5)*4(n-5)= 0
=> (n+4)*(n-5)= 0
=> n+4= 0 OR n-5= 0
=> n=5 (Ans)
Hope, it helps you.
