Answer:
Given :-
T(12) = a+11d = (-13) [ an = a +(n-1)d]
&
S(4) = 2(2a+3d) = 24
a+11d = -13 --------(1)
2a+3d = 12 ---------(2)
multiplying eqn (1) by 2 , subtracting from eqn (2) we get,
2a+3d = 12
2a+22d=-26
-19d = 38
d = -2 ..
putting in eqn now we get, a = 9
so,
sum of 10 terms will be =
s(10) = 10/2(2*9+9(-2))
= 5(18-18)
= 0 (Ans)
