Question

What is value of 1/2(pq+1)

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer. Given pth term = 1/q That is ap = a + (p - 1)d = 1/q aq + (pq - q)d = 1 --- (1) Similarly, we get ap + (pq - p)d = 1 --- (2) From (1) and (2), we get aq + (pq - q)d = ap + (pq - p)d aq - ap = d[pq - p - pq + q] a(q - p) = d(q - p) Therefore, a = d Equation (1) becomes, dq + pqd - dq = 1 d = 1/pq Hence a = 1/pq Consider, Spq = (pq/2)[2a + (pq - 1)d] = (pq/2)[2(1/pq) + (pq - 1)(1/pq)] = (1/2)[2 + pq - 1] = (1/2)[pq + 1]
