Let first term be a and common difference be d.

pth term = a + (p-1)d = q -----(i)

qth term = a + (q-1)d = p -----(ii)

(ii) - (i) gives

(q - p)d = p - q or d = -1

(i) gives  a = q - (p-1)d = q - (p-1)(-1) = q + p - 1

Hence,

nth term = a + (n-1)d
= q + p -1 + (n-1)(-1)
= q + p -1 + n +1
= p + q - n
