If the sum of first p terms, first  q terms and  first r terms of an AP be  x, y  and z   respectively. Then  (x/p)(q−r) + (y/q)(r−p) + (z/r)(p−q)  is

(x/p)=a+(p−1)(d/2)  (y/q)=a+(q−1)(d/2)  (z/r)=a+(r−1)(d/2)  so, (x/p)(q−r)+(y/q)(r−p)+(z/r)(p−q)     =( a−(d/2))(q−r+r−p+p−q)       +(d/2)[p(q−r)+q(r−p)+r(p−q)]      =(a−(d/2))(0) + (d/2)(0)     =0 .
xp=a+(p1)d2yq=a+(q1)d2zr=a+(r1)d2so,xp(qr)+yq(rp)+zr(pq)=(ad2)(qr+rp+pq)+d2[p(qr)+q(rp)+r(pq)]=(ad2)(0)+d2(0)=0.
