If the sum of first p terms of an A.P. is equal to the sum of the first q terms, then find the sum of the first (p + q) terms.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to find the sum of the first \( (p + q) \) terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) given that the sum of the first \( p \) terms is equal to the sum of the first \( q \) terms.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Recall the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an A.P.**:
\[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left(2a + (n - 1)d\right) \]
