Question

If Sn denotes the sum of n terms of an A.P., then Sn+3 - 3Sn+2 + 3Sn+1 - Sn is equal to ?

Answer 1

hope it will help it is always 6

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question:

We know that Sn = n(n+1)/2

now it is given that

S2n = 3Sn

=> 2n(2n+1)/2 = 3n(n+1)/2

=> 2(2n+1) = 3(n+1)

=> 4n+2 = 3n+3

=> n = 1

then S3n/Sn = [3n(3n+1)/2]/[n(n+1)/2] = 3*4/1*2 = 6

If there is any confusion please leave a comment below.
