To solve the problem step by step, we will use the properties of arithmetic progressions (AP) and the formulas for the sum of the first n terms of an AP. ### Step 1: Write the formula for the sum of the first n terms of an AP. The sum of the first n terms (S_n) of an arithmetic progression is given by the formula: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \left(2a + (n - 1)d\right) \] where \( a \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. ### Step 2: Set up the equations based on the given information. ...
