Step-by-step explanation:
Given that sum of the 4th and 8th terms of an AP is 24.
⟹ a + 3d + a + 7d = 24
⟹ 2a + 10d = 24 ...(i)
Also the sum of the 6th and 10th term is 44.
⟹ a + 5d + a + 9d = 44
⟹ 2a + 14d = 44 ...(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get:
4d = 20
⟹ d = 5
Substituting d = 5 in equation (i), we have:
2a + 10d = 24
⟹ 2a + 10 (5) = 24
⟹ 2a + 50 = 24
⟹ 2a = −26
⟹ a = −13
Hence first term of given A.P. is −13 and common difference is 5.
