उत्तर
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference. Then,
\[a_4 + a_8 = 24\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + \left( 4 - 1 \right)d + a + \left( 8 - 1 \right)d = 24\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + 3d + a + 7d = 24\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2a + 10d = 24 \]
\[ \Rightarrow a + 5d = 12 . . . (i)\]
\[\text { Also }, a_6 + a_{10} = 34\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + \left( 6 - 1 \right)d + a + \left( 10 - 1 \right)d = 34\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + 5d + a + 9d = 34\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2a + 14d = 34\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + 7d = 17 . . . (ii)\]
\[\text { Solving (i) and (ii), we get }: \]
\[2d = 5\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = \frac{5}{2}\]
\[\text { Substituing the value in (i), we get }: \]
\[a + 5\left( \frac{5}{2} \right) = 12\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + \frac{25}{2} = 12\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = \frac{- 1}{2}\]
