we have given 5th term of ap is zero
To show
we have to show that 25th term is twice the 15th term
since, we don't know the first term and common difference
So, let the first term be 'a'
common difference be 'd'
Identity to find nth term of an ap : an= a+(n-1)d
5th term = a+4d
since , 5th term is zero so,
a+4d=0-----(1)
25th term = a+24d
From equation 1
a= -4d
Now ,put a into 25th term
=> -4d+24d = 20d-----(2)
15th term = a+14d
=> -4d+14d
= 10d-----(3)
From equation 3 and 2
25th term = 2* 15th term
Hence,proved
