To show that in an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), the sum of the terms equidistant from the beginning and the end is always the same and equal to the sum of the first and last terms, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the A.P. Let the A.P. be represented as: - \( a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_n \) where \( a_1 \) is the first term and \( a_n \) is the last term. ### Step 2: Identify the common difference ...
