Expert Answer
Dear Student,
Let the first term of the AP be A and common difference be D.
Now, from the given conditions,
A + (p-1)D = q and A + (q-1)D = p
Subtracting the two equations, we get
pD - D - qD + D = -(p - q)
=> (p - q)D = -(p - q)
=> D = -1
putting D = -1 in the first equation, we get
A = q + (p - 1) = p + q - 1
Therefore, the rth term of the AP is
A + (r - 1)D = p + q - 1 - r + 1 = p + q - 1
Hence, proved.
Regards Topperlearning.
