Let the first term be (a - 5b) and the common difference be 2b. So the six terms are: (a - 5b), (a - 3b), (a - b), (a + b), (a + 3b), (a + 5b). By the given conditions:- Sum of six terms = (a - 5b) + (a - 3b) + (a - b) + (a + b) + (a + 3b) + (a + 5b) = 6a = 0. So, a = 0. The fourth term = a + b = 2...

Let the first term be (a - 5b) and the common difference be 2b. So the six terms are: (a - 5b), (a - 3b), (a - b), (a + b), (a + 3b), (a + 5b). By the given conditions:- Sum of six terms=(a - 5b) + (a - 3b) + (a - b) + (a + b) + (a + 3b) + (a + 5b) = 6a=0. So, a=0. The fourth term=a + b=2 --> 0 + b=2 --> b = 2. So, for the A.P. the first term x = (a - 5b) = -10. The common difference, y = 2b = 4. Sum of 1st 30 terms, S30 = (n/2)[2x + (n-1)y] = 15 x [ -20 + 29 x 4] = 1440. (Answer) read less
