Expert Answer
Dear Student,
Thge general nth term of an AP is a + (n -1)d.
From the given conditions,
m (a + (m-1)d) = n( a + (n-1)d)
=> am + m2d - md = an + n2d - nd
=> a(m-n) + (m+n)(m-n)d - (m-n)d = 0
=> (m-n) ( a + (m+n-1)d ) = 0
Rejecting the non-trivial case of m=n, we assume that m and n are different.
=> ( a + (m + n - 1)d ) = 0
The LHS of this equation denotes the (m+n)th term of the AP, which is Zero.
Regards Topperlearing.
