A) To find the sixth term, we can use the formula for the nth term of an AP:
Tn = a + (n-1)d
where Tn is the nth term, a is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference.

In this case, the first term a = K, and the common difference d = 2K/3 - K = -K/3.

So, the sixth term would be:
T6 = K + (6-1)(-K/3)
T6 = K - 5K/3
T6 = -2K/3

Therefore, the sixth term is -2K/3.

B) To find the nth term, we can use the same formula:
Tn = K + (n-1)(-K/3)
Tn = K - (n-1)K/3
Tn = K - nK/3 + K/3
Tn = K(1 - n/3) + K/3
Tn = K(3-n)/3

Therefore, the nth term is K(3-n)/3.

C) Given that the 20th term is equal to 15, we can substitute n = 20 into the nth term formula and set it equal to 15:
15 = K(3-20)/3
15 = K(-17)/3
15 = -17K/3
45 = -17K
K = -45/17

Therefore, K = -45/17.
