Let a 1 1 be the middle value
a 1 + a 2 + … + a 1 1 + … + a 2 0 + a 2 1 ( a 1 1 − 1 0 d ) + ( a 1 1 − 9 d ) + … + a 1 1 + … + ( a 1 1 + 9 d ) + ( a 1 1 + 1 0 d ) 2 1 ( a 1 1 ) a 1 1 = 6 9 3 = 6 9 3 = 6 9 3 = 3 3
a 1 + a 3 + … + a 1 1 + … + a 1 9 + a 2 1 ( a 1 1 − 1 0 d ) + ( a 1 1 − 8 d ) + … + a 1 1 + … + ( a 1 1 + 8 d ) + ( a 1 1 + 1 0 d ) 1 1 ( a 1 1 ) 1 1 ( 3 3 ) = ? = ? = ? = 3 6 3

The sum of n consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression is given by S = 2 n ( a a + a z ) , where a a and a z , respectively, are the first and last terms of the n terms. Therefore,
k = 1 ∑ 2 1 a k ⟹ 2 a 1 + a 2 1 ⟹ k = 0 ∑ 1 0 a 2 k + 1 = 2 2 1 ( a a + a z ) = 2 2 1 ( a 1 + a 2 1 ) = 6 9 3 = 2 1 6 9 3 = 3 3 = 2 1 1 ( a a + a z ) = 2 1 1 ( a 1 + a 2 1 ) = 1 1 × 3 3 = 3 6 3
