Answer:

50

Explanation:

5th term=a+4d

10th term=a+9d

15th term=a+14d

since

5th term=25 and the 15th term=75

so we find the value of unknown 'd' with is the common difference

a+4d=25

a+14d=75

-10d=-50

d=5

after finding the value of d we can now find the value of 'a'

a+4(5)=25

a=5

hence the 10th term can be obtained

a+9d

5+9(5)=50
