If first term of
We know, sum of ‘n’ terms of an AP
![]()
Where a and an are first and last term respectively.
Here, a = 5
n = 10
an = 45
Putting values, we get
![]()
OR
We know that nth term of an A.P is given by,
an = a + (n – 1)d
where, a = first term, n = number of terms, and d = common difference.
Therefore,
First term = a
Fourth term, a4 = a + (4 – 1)d
a4 = a + 3d
According to question,
a = 2(a + 3d)
a = 2a + 6d
a = -6d
