Expert Answer
Let the first and the last terms of an AP are a and l respectively
Common difference = d, then we have
a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d .............. l - 3d, l - 2d, l - d, l
The sum of numbers equidistant from the beginning and the end, we get
Common difference = d, then we have
a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d .............. l - 3d, l - 2d, l - d, l
The sum of numbers equidistant from the beginning and the end, we get
a + 3d + l - 3d = a + l ... (i)
Sum of the first and last term = a + l ... (ii)
Thererfore, (i) = (ii)
Thererfore, (i) = (ii)
