Solution
Given, sum of third and seventh term of A.P. is zero.
We know that, nth term of an A.P. is Tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ T3 + T7 = 0
⇒ a + 2d + a + 6d = 0
⇒ 2a + 8d = 0
⇒ a + 4d = 0
Now, T5 = a + (5 – 1)d
= a + 4d
= 0
Hence, 5th term of A.P. is zero.

Activity :- Two-digit numbers divisible by 5 are, 10, 15, 20, ......, 95.
Here, d = 5, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
Here, a = 10, d = 5, tn = 95, n = ?
tn = a + (n − 1) `square`
`square` = 10 + (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1)
Therefore n = `square`
