The common difference (d) is 4. The 16th term is calculated using Tn = a + (n-1)d: T16 = 7 + (16-1)×4 = 67. The sum of the first 6 terms is S6 = 6/2 × (2×7 + (6-1)×4) = 6/2 × 35 = 105 .

For the sequence to be in an AP, 2nd term - 1st term = 3rd term - 2nd term. Thus, (4m-1) - (5m+2) = (m+2) - (4m-1). Simplifying, we get -m - 3 = -3m + 3. Solving for m gives m = 3 .

The series goes from 3 to 253 with d = 5. The last term becomes the new first term in reverse, so a' = 253. Reversing gives d' = -5. The 20th term in this reversed AP is T20 = 253 + (20-1)(-5) = 158 .

The 21st term is T21 = 3 + 20 × 12 = 243. We're looking for Tn such that Tn = T21 + 120. Solving for Tn, 3 + (n-1)×12 = 243 + 120, gives (n-1)×12 = 360, resulting in n = 31 .

For the APs, Tn1 = 63 + (n-1)×2 and Tn2 = 3 + (n-1)×7. Setting Tn1 equal to Tn2 gives 63 + 2n - 2 = 3 + 7n - 7. Solving 2n-7n = 3-7-63+2 results in n = 15 .

Using the sum formula Sn = n/2[2a+(n-1)d], and given S7 = 49 and S17 = 289, solve two equations: 49 = 7/2(2a+6d) and 289 = 17/2(2a+16d). Solving these pairs gives a and d, which can be used to find a formula S_n in terms of n .

The common difference (d) for the sequence 120, 116, 112, ... is -4. Using the formula for the nth term, Tn = a + (n-1)d, where a is the first term (120), we get T10 = 120 + (10-1)(-4) = 120 - 36 = 84. Thus, the 10th term is 84 .

The formula for the sum of the first n terms of an AP is Sn = n/2[2a + (n-1)d]. Given Sn = 8n^2 - n, when n = 1, Sn = a = 8(1)^2 - 1 = 7. The first term is 7 .

The expression for the nth term is Tn = 5 - 3n. The common difference (d) is obtained by subtracting Tn from Tn-1, giving d = (5 - 3(n+1)) - (5 - 3n) = -3. Therefore, the common difference is -3 .

Substituting n = 20 into the formula 2n - 1 gives 2(20) - 1 = 40 - 1 = 39. Therefore, the 20th term is 39 .
