Just use A P
Let, a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , a 4 , … , a n be the terms of an AP such that, 4 a n + 1 is a multiple of 5 a 1 = 5 0 1 Since 4 × 5 0 1 + 1 = 2 0 0 5 , 5 ∣ 2 0 0 5 Since 4 a n + 1 is a multiple of 5, a n should differ by 5(=d). If you want we can check below a 2 = 5 0 6 d = a 2 − a 1 = 5 0 6 − 5 0 1 = 5 Therefore, last term between 500 - 1000 that is a good number is a n = 9 9 6 a + ( n − 1 ) d = 9 9 6 5 0 1 + ( n − 1 ) 5 = 9 9 6 ( n − 1 ) 5 = 4 9 5 n − 1 = 9 9 n = 1 0 0
Therefore there are 100 terms.
