An arithmetic progression has common difference \(d\). The 3rd term of this progression is \(10\).
(a) Write down expressions for the 1st term and the 2nd term of this progression. Give your answers in terms of \(d\) only.
(b) When each of the first 3 terms is squared, the sum of these squares is \(140\). There are two possible values for \(d\).
Using your answer to part (a), find the sum of the first \(200\) terms of the progression with the smaller value of \(d\).
