You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let first term = a and common difference = d
S_10=10/2 [2a+(10-1)d]=80
(2a+9d)=16 ---------------- (i)
Also sum of next 12 terms is 624
Hence sum of first 22 terms = 624+80 = 704
Therefore, S_22= 22/2 [2a+(22-1)d]=704
2a + 21d = 64 ------------------------(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii)
(2a + 21d) - (2a+9d) = 704 - 16
12d = 48
d = 4
from equation (i) 2a + 36 = 16
a= -10
Hence required AP is
-10, -6, -2, 2, 6, 10, 12, …………..

S10 = 10/2(2a+(10-1)d)
S10 = 10a+45d =80 ----------------1
S22 = 22/2(2a+(22-1)d)
S22 = 11(2a+21d)
S22= 22a+231d
S22-S10 =80
22a+231d-80 =624
22a +231d = 704
/11
2a+21d=64----------------2
solve equation 1 & 2
a=-10,d=4
-10,-6,-2,2,6,...............
