Solution
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
The given A.P. is \[\frac{1}{2q}, \frac{1 - 2q}{2q}, \frac{1 - 4q}{2q}, . . .\]
Common difference = d = Second term − First term
= \[\frac{1 - 2q}{2q} - \frac{1}{2q}\]
= \[\frac{- 2q}{2q} = - 1\]

Activity :- Here, a = 12, d = `square`, n = 100, S100 = ?
Sn = `"n"/2 [square + ("n" - 1)"d"]`
S100 = `square/2 [24 + (100 - 1)"d"]`
= `50(24 + square)`
= `square`
= `square`
