To solve the problem, we need to show that if the sum of the first \( m \) terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) is equal to the sum of the first \( n \) terms, then the sum of the first \( m+n \) terms is zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the formula for the sum of the first \( m \) terms of an A.P.**: The sum of the first \( m \) terms, denoted as \( S_m \), is given by: \[ S_m = \frac{m}{2} \left(2a + (m-1)d\right) ...
