Let a is the first term, d is the common ratio and l is the last term of the AP
Now nth term of the series = a + (n - 1)d
Since nth term is the last term of the series,
So, l = a + (n - 1)d
Now, sum of n terms of the series Sn = (n/2)*{2a + (n - 1)d}
=> Sn = (n/2)*{a + a + (n - 1)d}
=> Sn = (n/2)*(a + l)
This the required relation between nth term and sum to nth terms of the AP
