8. Sequences and Series
hard

જો સમાંતર શ્રેણીમાં આવેલાં પ્રથમ $n, 2n, 3n$ પદોના સરવાળા અનુક્રમે $S_{1}, S_{2}$ અને $S_{3},$  હોય, તો બતાવો કે $S_{3}=3\left(S_{2}-S_{1}\right)$.

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

Let $a$ and $b$ be the first term and the common difference of the $A.P.$ respectively. Therefore,

$S_{1}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$         ………$(1)$

$S_{2}=\frac{2 n}{2}[2 a+(2 n-1) d]=n[2 a+(2 n-1) d]$         …….$(2)$

$S_{3}=\frac{3 n}{2}[2 a+(3 n-1) d]$          ……….$(3)$

From $(1)$ and $(2),$ we obtain

$S_{2}-S_{1}=n[2 a+(2 n-1) d]-\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$

$=n\left\{\frac{4 a+4 n d-2 d-2 a-n d+d}{2}\right\}$

$=n\left[\frac{2 a+3 n d-d}{2}\right]$

$=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(3 n-1) d]$

$\therefore 3\left(S_{2}-S_{1}\right)=\frac{3 n}{2}[2 a+(3 n-1) d]=S_{3}$         [ From $(3)$ ]

Hence, the given result is proved.
