										Dear sougata
Ist question is not clear
2nd question:


let first term is =a  and common difference =d
p =a+(q-1)d  ............1

q =a+(p-1)d  ..............2


1-2 
p-q = (q-p)d
d =-1
put value of d in equation 1
a =p+q -1


now p+q th term  = a+ ( p+q -1)d
                         = p+q -1 + ( p+q -1)*(-1)
                        =0
