Explanation:

The sum of the first 25 terms, S₂₅ = 525
The sum of the next 25 terms, K₂₅ = sum of next 25 terms = 725
a₂₆ = a₁ + 25d
a₂₇ = a₂ + 25d
K₂₅ = a₂₆ + a₂₇ + ...... + a₅₀
Or K₂₅ = a₁ + 25d + a₂ + 25d + ...... + a₂₅ + 25d
Or K₂₅ = a₁ + a₂ + ...... + a₂₅ + 25(25d)
Or K₂₅ = S₂₅ + 25(25d)
i.e., 725 = 525 + 25 * 25d
200 = 25 * 25d
8 = 25d
d = 8/25
