Hi,

Let a , d are first term and common difference of an A.P

*********************************************************
nth term of A P = an = a + ( n - 1 ) d ----------( 1 )

*********************************************************
Given,

a 16 = p

a + 15 d = p ---------------( 2 ) from ( 1 )

*********************************************************************
Sum of first n terms an A P

S n = n/2 [ 2a + ( n - 1 ) d ]

*********************************************************************

Given ,

S 31 = 31 /2 [ 2 a + ( 31 - 1 ) d ]

S 31 = 31 / 2 × [ 2 a + 30 d ]

= 31 / 2 × 2 [ a + 15 d ]

= 31 ( a + 15 d )

= 31 p [ from equation ( 2 )

Therefore ,

S 31 = 31 p


I hope this will useful to you.
