It is given that
\small a=17,l=350,d=9,
Now, we know that
a_n = a+(n-1)d
350 = 17+(n-1)9
(n-1)9 = 333
(n-1)=37
n = 38

Now, we know that 
S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left \{ 2a+(n-1)d \right \}
\Rightarrow S_{38}= \frac{38}{2}\left \{ 2\times(17) +(38-1)9\right \}
\Rightarrow S_{38}= 19\left \{ 34 +333\right \}
\Rightarrow S_{38}= 19\left \{367\right \}
\Rightarrow S_{38}= 6973
Therefore, there are 38 terms  and their sun is 6973
