Let ${S_n}$ denotes the sum of $n$ terms of an $A.P.$ If ${S_{2n}} = 3{S_n}$, then ratio $\frac{{{S_{3n}}}}{{{S_n}}} = $

A

$4$

B

$6$

C

$8$

D

$10$

Solution

(b) ${S_{2n}} = 3{S_n}$

$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{2n}}{2}\{ 2a + (2n – 1)d\} = 3\;.\;\frac{n}{2}\{ 2a + (n – 1)d\} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $2a = (n + 1)d$

Put $2a = (n + 1)d$ in $\frac{{{S_{3n}}}}{{{S_n}}}$,

we get its value $6$.
