Poor wording.
The sum of 11 what? 11 terms? I will assume that
You must know your 2 main formulas for an AP
term(n terms) and sum(n terms)
sum(11) = 11/2(2a + 10d), but you told me that sum(11) = 891 and d = 15
so let's sub that into the above
891 = (11/2)(2a + 150)
891 = 11(a + 75)
891 = 11a + 825
take over to find a, then use your definition of term(28) and term(45) to finish up
The sum of 11 of an a.p is 891 find the 28 and 45 if the common difference is 15
