There are n arithmetic means between 3 and 17. The ratio of last mean to the first mean is 3:1. Find the value of n.

Let d be the common difference.
If the ratio between last arithmetic mean to first arithmetic mean is 3:1.then we have, 17-d = 3×(3+d) ........(1)
eqn.(1) gives d = 2.
If there are are n arithmetic means between 3 and 17, then (n+2)th term is given by, tn+2 = 3 + (n+1)×2 = 17 ...........(2)
By solving eqn.(2), we get n = 6
