Let the first term and common difference of an A.P. be a & d respectively.
nth term of an A.P. is an = a + (n -1)d
Given that,

a= -32
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} a+8d= -32...(i)
Also given,
a11+a13= -94
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} (a + 10d) + (a + 12d) = -94
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 2a + 22d = -94
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} a + 11d = -47...(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii).
11d - 8d = -47 - (-32)

Or, 3d = -47+32

Or, 3d = - 15
Or,  d = -5
So, the common difference is -5.
