1 2 5 + 1 5 8 + 1 8 11 + upto n terms is equal to

Options

An 4 n+6
B1 4 n+4
Cn 6 n+4
Dn 3 n+7

Correct answer

C. n 6 n+4

Step-by-step solution

We have, aligned &= 1 2 5 + 1 5 8 + 1 8 11 + + 1 [(2+(n-1) 3)][5+(n-1) 3] &= 1 2 5 + 1 5 8 + 1 8 11 + + 1 (3 n-1)(3 n+2) &= 1 3 [ 3 2 5 + 3 5 8 + 3 8 11 + + 1 (3 n-1)(3 n+2) ] &= 1 3 [ 5-2 2 5 + 8-5 5 8 + 11-8 8 11 + + (3 n+2)-(3 n-1) (3 n-1)(3 n+2) ] &= 1 3 [ 1 2 - 1 5 + 1 5 - 1 8 + 1 8 - 1 11 + + 1 3 n-1 - 1 3 n+2 ] &= 1 3 [ 1 2 - 1 3 n+2 ]= 1 3 [ 3 n+2-2 2(3 n+2) ]= n 6 n+4 aligned
