  1. Answer:

    a1 = 27 , a2 = 24

    a2 – a1 = d

    24 – 27 = -3

    Sn = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d]

    132 = n/2 [2×27 + (n-1)×-3]

    132 = n/2 [ 54 -3n +3]

    132 = n/2 [57 – 3n]

    132×2 = n[57 – 3n]

    264 = 57n – 3n²

    57n – 3n² – 264 = 0

    -3n² + 57n – 264 = 0

    Multiplying by -1

    3n² – 57n + 264 = 0

    Dividing by 3

    n² – 19n + 88 = 0

    a + b = -19

    a × b = 88

    -11 + -8 = -19

    -11 × -8 = 88

    n² – 19n + 88 = 0

    n² – 11n – 8n + 88 = 0

    n(n – 11) -8 (n – 11) = 0

    (n – 8) (n -11) =0

    n = 8 or n = 11

    I hope this will help u. Please add this to the brainlist.
