Let a and d be the first term and common difference of AP nth term of AP an​=a+(n−1)d ∴a3​=a+(3−1)d=a+2d a7​=a+(7−1)d=a+6d Given a3​+a7​=6 ∴(a+2d)+(a+6d)=6 ⇒2a+8d=6 ⇒a+4d=3....(1) Also given a3​×a7​=8 ∴(a+2d)(a+6d)=8 ⇒(3−4d+2d)(3−4d+6d)=8       [Using (1)] ⇒(3−2d)(3+2d)=8 ⇒9−4d2=8 ⇒4d2=1 ⇒d2=41​ ⇒d=±21​ When d=21​ a=3−4d=3−4×21​=3−2=1 When d=−21​ a=3−4d=3+4×21​=3+2=5 When a=1 & d=21​ S16​=216​[2×1+(16−1)×21​]=8(2+215​)=4×19=76 When a=5 & d=−21​ S16​=216​[2×5+(16−1)×(−21​)]=8(10−215​)=4×5=20 Thus the sum of first 16 term of the ap is 7 or 20
