Solution
a = –7, d = `1/2`
t1 = a = –7
t2 = a + d = `-7 + 1/2 = (-14 + 1)/2 = (-13)/2`
t3 = a + 2d = `-7 + 2(1/2)` = –7 + 1 = –6
t4 = a + 3d = `-7 + 3(1/2) = -7 + 3/2 = (-14 + 3)/2 = (-11)/2`
∴ A.P. is `-7, (-13)/2, -6, (-11)/2 .......`
∴ A.P. is –7, –6.5, –6, –5.5 ........

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`
