       ⋇JS⋇  ⇒13−2λ,13−λ,13,13+λ,13+2λ,13+3λ  so 13+3λ = 25 ⇒λ= 4  now you get the value of a,b,c,d

$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\divideontimes\mathrm{JS}\divideontimes \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{13}−\mathrm{2}\lambda,\mathrm{13}−\lambda,\mathrm{13},\mathrm{13}+\lambda,\mathrm{13}+\mathrm{2}\lambda,\mathrm{13}+\mathrm{3}\lambda \\ $$$$\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{13}+\mathrm{3}\lambda\:=\:\mathrm{25}\:\Rightarrow\lambda=\:\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\mathrm{now}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{get}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{a},\mathrm{b},\mathrm{c},\mathrm{d} \\ $$

Let x be the common difference  ∴        a+2x=13........(1)  and  a+5x=25........(2)  (1)−(2)→−3x=−12                 ⇒            x=4   from (1),  a+2(4)=13                 ⇒          a=5    AP  : 5,9,13,17,21,25

$${Let}\:{x}\:{be}\:{the}\:{common}\:{difference} \\ $$$$\therefore\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{a}+\mathrm{2}{x}=\mathrm{13}........\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$${and}\:\:{a}+\mathrm{5}{x}=\mathrm{25}........\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)−\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\rightarrow−\mathrm{3}{x}=−\mathrm{12} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{x}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\:{from}\:\left(\mathrm{1}\right),\:\:{a}+\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{13} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{a}=\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\:\:{AP}\:\::\:\mathrm{5},\mathrm{9},\mathrm{13},\mathrm{17},\mathrm{21},\mathrm{25} \\ $$
