Given sum of the first n terms of an A.P. is 2 n+3 n^2 . Another A.P. is formed with the same first term and double of the common difference, the sum of n terms of the new A.P. is :
Options
- An+4 n^2
- B6 n^2-n
- Cn^2+4 n
- D3 n+2 n^2
Correct answer
B. 6 n^2-n
Step-by-step solution
Given S _n=2 n+3 n^2 Now, first term =2+3=5 second term =2(2)+3(4)=16 third term =2(3)+3(9)=33 Now, sum given in option (b) only has the same first term and difference between 2 nd and 1 st term is double also.
