Answer:
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of the given AP. Then,
T4+T8=24⇒(a+3d)+(a+7d)=24
⇒2a+10d=24
⇒a+5d=12 …(i)
and T6+T10=44⇒(a+5d)+(a+9d)=44
⇒2a+14d=44
⇒a+7d=22. ....(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii), we get a = -13 and d = 5.
∴ first three terms of the given AP are -13, -8 and -3.
