To prove the equation \( \frac{a}{p(q-r)} + \frac{b}{q(r-p)} + \frac{c}{r(p-q)} = 0 \), we start by recalling the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.). ### Step 1: Write the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an A.P. The sum of the first \( n \) terms of an A.P. is given by: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left(2a + (n-1)d\right) \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ...
