Let a' and d respectively be the first term and common difference of the AP. Here, mth term is a. So, a' + (m - 1) d = a ... (1) And, nth term is b. So, a' + (n - 1) d = b ... (2) Subtracting (2) from (1), we have: (m - n)d = a-b So, d = (a-b)/(m-n) Now, find the value of a by substituting the value of d in any of the above two equations (1) or (2). Now, sum of (m+n) terms = (m+n)/2 [2a' + (m+n-1)d] Now, substitute the values of a' and d to get the answer.
