If m times the mth term of an AP is equal to n times its nth term, find (m+n)th term.
let the first be
and common difference is
.
Given m times the mth term = n times the nth term
Recall that the nth term of AP is ![]()
Similarly, the mth term of AP is ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
But, ![]()
![]()
Hence, (m+n)th term of an AP is zero.
