Q46 / 118 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Sequences and Series

The sum to n terms of 11.3+21.3.5+31.3.5.7+41.3.5.7.9+........ is

  • A
    121+11.3.5........2n+1
  • B
    121-12.4.6........2n
  • Correct answer
    C
    121-11.3.5........2n+1
  • D
    None of these

Solution

tn=n1.3.5. .........2n+1

= 12. 2n+1-11.3.5. .........2n+1

=1211.3.5......2n-1-11.3.5.......2n+1

=12Tn-1- Tn

∴2tn=Tn-1- Tn  …1 where Tn=11.3.5.......2n+1


∴  2 S n  =  ∑ n=2 n 2 t n +2 t 1

⇒ 2 S n  − 2 t 1  = ( T 1  −  T 2 )+( T 2  −  T 3 )+........+( T n−1 − T n )

⇒ 2 S n  − 2 t 1  =  T 1 − T n

⇒ 2 S n  = 2 t 1  +  T 1 − T n                = 2× 1 3 + 1 1×3 − 1 1×3×5.....( 2n+1 )

⇒ Sn = 121−11×3×5.......(2n+1)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
