Using the formulas: ap+q = a + (p+q-1)d = m and ap-q = a + (p-q-1)d = n, solving these equations yields 2ap = m + n, thus the pth term ap = (m+n)/2 .

For an AP with initial saving Rs 24 and common difference Rs 6 over 12 months, the total saving is calculated by S12 = 12/2 * (2*24 + 11*6) = 684 .

In AP, properties like constant difference and term symmetry imply structured repetition. For expressions a(q – r) + b(r-p) + c(p – q) = 0 using terms ap, aq, ar, these simplify via linear combination reflecting equality and cancellation inherent in uniform spacing, nullifying the expression .

The sequence of odd integers divisible by 3 between 2 and 100 is 3, 9, ..., up to the greatest odd number 99. This follows an arithmetic progression where the first term is 3, common difference is 6. The sum of this sequence results in 867 .

The savings each month form an AP with the first term (Rs 24) and a common difference (Rs 6). The nth term is given by a + (n-1)d. Set this expression greater than Rs 100 to find n: 24 + (n-1)*6 > 100, solving for n gives n > 13.66, suggesting the 14th month exceeds Rs 100 .

For terms t(m+n) = 0 given condition mth term is proportional to nth, express the terms by gm, gn, and equate mg(n) = ng(m). Solving for general term respects known m+n symmetry, simplification assures t(m+n) masking equal counterposition achieves zero .

The common difference in an arithmetic progression is determined by the coefficient of n in the expression for the nth term. For the sequence given by the expression an = 3 + 4n, the common difference is 4 because the term of n is 4 .

To find the sum of all two-digit odd numbers, identify the sequence as 11, 13, ..., 99, which forms an arithmetic progression with first term 11, last term 99, and common difference of 2. The number of terms, n, in the sequence is determined by the formula for the nth term: 99 = 11 + (n-1)*2, resulting in n=45. The sum is given by n/2 * (first term + last term), yielding 45/2 * (11 + 99) = 2475 .

In an arithmetic progression, if three numbers a-d, a, and a+d sum to 9, we have a-d+a+a+d=9 which simplifies to 3a=9, giving a=3. For their product (a-d) * a * (a+d) = 24, solving gives numbers (2, 3, 4).

Let angles be a-d, a, a+d. Since angles of a triangle sum to 180°, (a-d) + a + (a+d) = 3a = 180 implies a=60. Given the greatest angle 2(a-d) = a+d, 2(60-d) = 60+d results in d=20. Therefore, angles are 40°, 60°, and 80° .
