Arithmetic Progression

MCQ - 444-9176

Question:

The sum of first n terms of an AP is (4n2 + 2n). The nth term of this AP is

  1. (6n – 2)
  2. (7n – 3)
  3. (8n – 2)
  4. (7n – 3)

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Let Sn denotes the sum of first n terms of an AP.
Sum of first n terms = Sn = 4n2 + 2n
Then nth term is given by: an = Sn - Sn - 1
∴ an = (4n2 + 2n) - [4(n - 1)2 + 2(n - 1)]
= (4n2 + 2n) - [4(n2 + 1 - 2n) + 2n - 2]
= 4n2 + 2n - 4n2 - 4 + 8n - 2n + 2
= 8n - 2
