    In the following APs, find the missing terms in the boxes : [], 38, [], [], [], -22
    Here, a₂ = 38 and a₆ = – 22. To find: a₁, a₃, a₄ and a₅
    Given that: a₂ = a + (2 -1)d = 38
    ⇒ a + d = 38
    ⇒ a = 38 – d
    and a₆ = – 22 ⇒ a + 5d = – 22
    Putting the value of a from equation (1), we get
    38 – d + 5d = – 22 ⇒ d = – 15
    Putting the value of a from equation (1), we get
    a = 38 – (-15) = 53
    Therefore, a₁ = a = 53
    a₃ = a + 2d = 53 +2(-15) = 23
    a₄ = a + 3d = 53 + 3 (-15) = 8
