To show that the sum of the first \( (m+n) \) terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) is zero, given that the sum of the first \( m \) terms is equal to the sum of the first \( n \) terms, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the formulas for the sums of the first \( m \) and \( n \) terms The sum of the first \( m \) terms of an A.P. can be expressed as: \[ S_m = \frac{m}{2} \left(2a_1 + (m-1)d\right) \] Similarly, the sum of the first \( n \) terms is: ...
