To prove that the sum of \( (m+n) \) terms is \( -(m+n) \) given that the sum of \( m \) terms is \( n \) and the sum of \( n \) terms is \( m \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the formula for the sum of the first \( m \) terms of an A.P. The sum of the first \( m \) terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) is given by the formula: \[ S_m = \frac{m}{2} \left(2a + (m-1)d\right) \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ...
