-fifth term of an arithmetic sequence is 10 and 10th term is 5
-what is common difference
-what is first term
-what is fifteenth term
-what is the sum of product of fifteen terms
a+4d=10
a+9d=5
common difference ¿
solve equation (1) and (2)
a+4d=10
a+9d=5
- - -
-5d=5
d= -1
second question
-what is first term
put value of d in equation( 1)
a+4d=10
a+4(-1)=10
a-4=10
a=10+4
a=14
third question
-what is fifteenth term
as we know, a= 14
and d = -1
so a15=a+(n-1)d
=14+(15-1)-1.
=14+14*(-1)
=14-14
=o
fourth question
what is the sum of product of fifteen terms
product of 15 term will be zero because 15th term is 0
so their sum will be zero

or sum of 15 terms
sn=n/2 (2a+(n-1)d
=15/2(2*14-14)
=15/2(28-14)
=15/2(14)
=15*7
=105
hope its helpful
