Given that 

Ag+I-AgI+e-     ; Eo= +0.152V  (cathode)  at cathode gaon of electrons takes place so the equation is written as  AgI+e-Ag+I-; Eo= -0.152V AgAg++e-        ; Eo=+0.800V (anode)  Ecello= Ecathodeo- Eanodeo= (-0.152)-(0.800)=-0.952V

The Nernst equation is 

Ecell=Ecello-0.0591nlog Qc 

Solubility product is considered for a saturated solution at equilibrium. 

At equilibrium , Qc= Kc = Ksp  then Ecell = 0

0= Ecello-0.05911Ksp

0=-0.952-0.05911log Ksp log Ksp =-0.9520.0591=-16.135
