Expert Answer
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of A.P.
Sum of first 10 terms = -150
hence we have (10/2) [ 2a + 9d ] = -150 or 2a + 9d = -30 .....................(1)
next 10 terms gives total = -550 . Hence sum of 20 terms = -150-550 =-700
hence (20/2) [ 2a + 19d ] = -700 or 2a + 19d = 70 ................(2)
by solving eqns.(1) and (2), we get a = 3 and d = -4
