24. If SI, S2 and S3 be the sum of n, 2n and 3n terms respectively of an AP, show that83 3(S2 - s).

Answer»

S₁=Sₙ=n/2 (2a+ (n-1) d)

s₂= 2n/2 {2a+ (2n-1) d}

s₃=3n/2 {2a+ (3n-1)d}

solving RHS

3{s₂-s₁)

3 [2n/2 {2a+ (2n-1)d} - n/2 {2a+ (n-1)d }]

3n/2 [2{2a+(2n-1)}]-[2a+(n-1)d]

3n/2 [4a+2(2n-1)d-2a-(n-1)d]

3n/2 [4a+ 4nd- 2d- 2a- nd+ d]

3n/2 [2 a+ 3nd-d]

3n/2 [2a+ (3n-1) d]=s₃
