The sum of first n, 2nn, 2nn, 2n, and 3n3n3n terms of an AP is S1, S2S1, S2S1, S2, and S3S3S3 respectively. Prove that S3=3(S2S1).S3=3(S2S1).S3=3(S2S1).


Answer:


Step by Step Explanation:
  1. We are told that

    S1S1S1 = Sum of first nnn terms
    S2S2S2 = Sum of first 2n2n2n terms
    S3S3S3 = Sum of first 3n3n3n terms
  2. We know that the sum of first nnn terms of an AP is given by Sn=n2(2a+(n1)d),Sn=n2(2a+(n1)d),Sn=n2(2a+(n1)d), where aaa is the first term and nnn is the number of terms in the AP.

    Therefore, we have [Math Processing Error]
  3. Now, [Math Processing Error]
  4. Thus, S3=3(S2S1).S3=3(S2S1).
