AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to prove that if the ratio of the sums of the first \( m \) terms and \( n \) terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) is \( m^2 : n^2 \), then the ratio of their \( m \)-th and \( n \)-th terms is \( (2m - 1) : (2n - 1) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Sum of Terms in A.P.**: The sum of the first \( n \) terms of an A.P. can be expressed as: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left(2a + (n - 1)d\right) ...
