hey guys the ans is 6....
we have first term as 2 and last term is 877
now according to last term formula of an AP i.e., a+(n-1)d
we have (n-1)d=875
now 875 is divided by 1,5,7,35,125,175
it means if we add these nos with 2 we can get 877 at last
hence we can generate 6 different Ap strating from 2 to 877
thank u ....
