Answers (1)

S_{4}=2\left ( 2a+3d \right )=16

S_{6}=3\left ( 2a+5d \right )=-48

\Rightarrow 2a+3d=8

      2a+5d=-16

So (2) - (1) 

d=-12                       2a-36=8\Rightarrow 2a=44

S_{10}=5\left [ 44+9x-12 \right ]

         =-320


Option 1)

-380

Option 2)

-320

Option 3)

-260

Option 4)

-410
