To solve the problem, we need to prove two statements based on the given terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.). Let's denote the first term of the A.P. as \( a \) and the common difference as \( d \). ### Given: - The \( p \)-th term is \( a \) - The \( q \)-th term is \( b \) - The \( r \)-th term is \( c \) ### Step 1: Express the terms in terms of \( a \) and \( d \) ...
