The sum of first q term of AP is p, which means that the number of terms is q

Thereby, let us take the first term as A and the common difference d

Therefore, the sum 

Subtracting the sum of the term , p and q

After solving the equation we get the value of d as  

Now with , first value of the series is a and the number of terms is 

Therefore, the sum is
