\n" ); document.write( "solution
\n" ); document.write( "a+d=1
\n" ); document.write( "a+4d=-11 by subtraction
\n" ); document.write( "-3d=12
\n" ); document.write( "d=-4 a-4=1 than a=5
\n" ); document.write( "AP will be as 5,1,-3.....
\n" ); document.write( "sum of 10 terms = n[2a+(n-1)d]/2
\n" ); document.write( "=10[10+9x(-4)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "=10[10-36]/2= 5x(-26)= -130\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "answer -130
\n" ); document.write( "
