First term is a and common difference is d.

 

Sum of first and third terms is 10.

 

t₁ + t₅ = 10

 

==> a + (1 - 1) * d + a + (5 - 1) * d = 10

 

==> a + a + 4d = 10

 

==> 2a + 4d = 10

 

==> a + 2d = 5    ---- (1)

 

Ten Terms except for the first term is 99 and except for sixth term is 89.

 

S₁₀ - First term = 99

 

==> 10/2[2a + (10 - 1) * d] - a = 99

 

==> 5[2a + 9d] - a = 99

 

==> 10a + 45d - a = 99

 

==> 9a + 45d = 99

 

==> a + 5d = 11       ------- (2)

 

Subtract Equation (1) and (2).

 

a + 5d - a - 2d = 11 - 5

 

==> 3d = 6

 

==> d = 2

 

 

Place d = 2 in (2).

 

==> a + 5d = 11

 

==> a + 10 = 11

 

==> a = 1

 

Third term of the progression.

 

t₃ = 1 + (3 - 1) * 2

 

t₃ = 5

The formula used will be -..... Sn = n/2[2a+(n-1)d]  ...... S10 = 5[2a+(9)d]  ..... S1= 1/2{2a]=>a  ....... 5[2a+9d]-a=99  ...... 5[2a+9d]-a=99  ....... 9a+45d=99...... /9.... a+5d=11 (1 eq)  ..... a+2d = 5 (2 eq)   ...... 5[2a+9d]-11=89   ...... 10a+45d=100 (3 eq)  ...... Solving (1) & (3)  .... a=1, d=2  ....... Thus,..... a3=1+4....... a3=5
