  1. Solutions:

    Given That,

    3rd term, a3 = 16

    As we all know,

    a +(3−1)d = 16

    a+2d = 16 ………………………………………. (i)

    It is given the 7th term exceeds the 5th term by 12.

    a7 − a5 = 12

    [a+(7−1)d]−[+(5−1)d]= 12

    (a+6d)−(a+4d) = 12

    2d = 12

    d = 6

    From the eq. (i),

    a+2(6) = 16

    a+12 = 16

    a = 4

    i.e The A.P. will be 4, 10, 16, 22, …
