Arithmetic Progression Problem Solving

The video tutorial explains how to solve word problems involving arithmetic progression (AP). It starts by introducing the problem, where the third term is 10 and the seventh term is 34. The task is to find the first term, the common difference, and the 12th term. The tutorial guides through writing expressions for the given terms, solving simultaneous equations to find the first term and common difference, and finally calculating the 12th term using these values.
