(a) As given $\frac{n}{2}\left\{ {2a + (n - 1)d} ight\} = \frac{m}{2}\left\{ {a + (m - 1)d} ight\}$

$ \Rightarrow $$2a(m - n) + d({m^2} - m - {n^2} + n) = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ $(m - n)\left\{ {2a + d(m + n - 1)} ight\} = 0$

$ \Rightarrow $ $2a + (m + n - 1)d = 0$,$(\because \;m 
e n)$

$	herefore $ ${S_{m + n}} = \frac{{m + n}}{2}\left\{ {2a + (m + n - 1)d} ight\} $

$= \frac{{m + n}}{2}\left\{ 0 ight\} = 0$.
