To solve the problem step by step, we will use the formulas for the sum of an arithmetic progression (AP) and the given conditions. ### Step 1: Write the formula for the sum of the first \( p \) terms of an AP. The sum \( S_p \) of the first \( p \) terms of an AP is given by: \[ S_p = \frac{p}{2} \times (2a + (p - 1)d) \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ...
