Question

Find the next three terms of the following A. P
1/6, 1/4 , 1/3 also , find S6 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

To Find :-

Next four terms of sequence 1/6,1/4,1/3 .

Sn = ?

Solution :-

we have,

First term = a = 1/6 .

Common difference = d = a2 - a1 = 1/4 - 1/6 = (3-2)/12 = 1/12 .

we know that,

An = a + (n - 1)d .

Sn = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d] .

so,

→ A(4) = a + (4 - 1)d

→ A(4) = 1/6 + 3 * (1/12)

→ A(4) = 1/6 + 1/4

→ A(4) = (2 + 3)/12 = 5/12 .

similarly,

→ A(5) = a + (5 - 1)d

→ A(5) = 1/6 + 4 * (1/12)

→ A(5) = 1/6 + 4/12

→ A(5) = (2 + 4)/12 = 6/12 = 1/2 .

and,

→ A(6) = a + (6 - 1)d

→ A(6) = 1/6 + 5 * (1/12)

→ A(6) = 1/6 + 5/12

→ A(6) = (2 + 5)/12 = 7/12 .

also,

→ A(7) = a + (7 - 1)d

→ A(7) = 1/6 + 6 * (1/12)

→ A(7) = 1/6 + 6/12

→ A(7) = (2 + 6)/12 = 8/12 = 2/3 .

therefore,

→ Sn = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]

→ Sn = (n/2)[2*1/6 + (n - 1)(1/12)]

→ Sn = (n/2)[1/3 + n/12 - 1/12]

→ Sn = (n/2)(4 + n - 1)/12

→ Sn = (n/2)(3 + n)/12

→ Sn = n(3 + n)/24 (Ans.)
