be the first term and d be difference
Then the arithmetic progression will be ,
From the question ,
third term = 13
-------------(1)
Similarly
-----------------(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2) we get
-2d =8
d = -4
Substituting d = 4 in equation 1, we get
= 31 ,(31 +(-4)) ,(31 +2(-4)), (31+3(-4)).........
=> 31, 27, 23 , 19, 15, 11,7,3
