The correct answer is:
\( -\frac{10}{31} \)
Since, the first 11 terms in AP
The middle term of AP is
For the next 11 terms in GP,
The middle term of GP is where b is the first term of a GP which is the last term of AP.
According to the given condition,
Middle term of entire sequence is term.
The middle term of AP is
