$\sum_{n=1}^{20} \frac{1}{a_{n} a_{n+1}}=\sum_{n=1}^{20} \frac{1}{a_{n}\left(a_{n}+dight)}$

$=\frac{1}{d} \sum_{n=1}^{20}\left(\frac{1}{a_{n}}-\frac{1}{a_{n}+d}ight)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{d}\left(\frac{1}{a_{1}}-\frac{1}{a_{21}}ight)=\frac{4}{9} 	ext { (Given) }$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{~d}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}_{21}-\mathrm{a}_{1}}{\mathrm{a}_{1} \mathrm{a}_{21}}ight)=\frac{4}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{~d}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}_{1}+20 \mathrm{~d}-\mathrm{a}_{1}}{\mathrm{a}_{1} \mathrm{a}_{2}}ight)=\frac{4}{9}$$\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}_{1} \mathrm{a}_{2}=45 \ldots (1)$

Now sum of first $21$ terms $=\frac{21}{2}\left(2 \mathrm{a}_{1}+20 \mathrm{~d}ight)=189$

$\Rightarrow a_{1}+10 d=9 \ldots (2)$

For equation $(1) \,\&\,(2)$ we get

$a_{1}=3\,\&\, d=\frac{3}{5}$

OR

$a_{1}=15\, \&\, d=-\frac{3}{5}$

$\mathrm{So}, a_{6} \cdot \mathrm{a}_{16}=\left(\mathrm{a}_{1}+5 \mathrm{~d}ight)\left(\mathrm{a}_{1}+15 \mathrm{~d}ight)$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}_{6} \mathrm{a}_{16}=72$

Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots \ldots, a_{21}$ be an $A.P.$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^{20} \frac{1}{a_{n} a_{n+1}}=\frac{4}{9}$. If the sum of this AP is $189,$ then $a_{6} \mathrm{a}_{16}$ is equal to :
