1             2             3          4           5           6       .....
200       200       200       240       280       .....       .....
Sum = 11040
120 + 80 + 160 + 40 + 200 + 240 + .... = 11040
[2a + (n - 1)d] + 80 + 40 = 11040
[2a + (n - 1)40] = 10920
n [ 6 + n - 1 ] = 546
n (n + 5) = 546
n = 21
