Hey User !!!
Let a be the First term, a3 be the third term, a5 be the 5th term and a7 be the 7th term... (1)
Let the common difference be "d"
Common difference is equal in AP
So,
a7 = a5 + d + d = a5 + 2d ...(2)
From Equation (1) & (2)
a5 + 12 = a5 + 2d
2d = 12
d = 6
From Given, we get that
a3 = 16
a3 = a + 2d = 16
a + ( 2 × 6 ) = 16 [ We know that d = 6 ]
a + 12 = 16
a = 4
So first term is 4 ... We can find AP by adding d continuously
So, AP is 4, 10, 16, 22, 28..
Hope it helps !!!
Answer:
a+2d=16
a+6d-(a+4d)=12
2d=12
d=6
Put d =6 in eq 1
a+2×6=16
a=16-12=4
So ap is :-
4,10,16,22,28,34,40...
