Hiii there....
Since it is given that fifth term of AP is 5 i.e.
a+4d=5
a+4(-3)=5 because common diff.,d=-3
a-12=5
a=5+12
a=17
Hence first term,a=5
Now to get the AP we wil firstly add common difference to first term to get second term and then to second term and so on....
Hence AP will be
17, 14, 11, 8, 5, 2, -1, -4, ................
Hope u have understood this question and u will try to understand the concept
