If sum of n terms of an A.P. is n^2+5n then find general term.(a) n+1(b) 2n(c) 3n(d) n^2+3nI had been asked this question in an internship interview.My enquiry is from Arithmetic Progression(A.P.) topic in chapter Sequences and Series of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (B) 2N

The explanation is: GIVEN, Sn = n^2+5n

We KNOW, an = Sn– Sn-1 = (n^2+5n) – ((n-1)^2+5(n-1)) = (n^2+5n) – (n^2+1-2n+5n-1) = 2n.
