    If the sum to 2 n terms of the \[AP\text{ }2,\text{ }5,\text{ }8,11,...\]is equal to the sum to n terms of the \[AP\text{ }57,\text{ }59,\text{ }61,\text{ }63,\text{ }...\text{ },\]then n is equal to

    A)  \[10\]            

    B)  \[11\]

    C)  \[12\]            

    D)  \[13\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let sum of 2n terms of the \[AP\,\,\,57,59,61,63\] ?is \[{{S}_{n}}\]. \[\therefore \] \[{{S}_{n}}=\frac{n}{2}[2\times 57+(n-1)2]\] \[\frac{n}{2}(2n+112)\] According to question \[{{S}_{2n}}={{S}_{n}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[n(6n+1)=\frac{n}{2}(2n+112)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[12n+2=2n+112\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[10n=110\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[n=11\]
