Sum of an AP in general with the first term = a and upto n terms:

   Sn = n/2 * [2a +(n-1)d ] = n/2 * [2a - d + d n]    ---(1)
 
Given sum upto n terms: 2n² + 3n =  n/2 * [ 6 + 4 n ]    ---(2)

Comparing (1) and (2) we get:
  
      d = 4.
     2 a - d = 6       =>  a = 5.

So  6th term =  a + (m-1) d
                     = 5 + (6-1) 4 = 25

      16th term = a + 15 * d = 5 + 15*4 = 65
