    If sum of\[n\]terms of an AP is\[2n+3{{n}^{2}},\]then rth term is

    A)  \[2r+3{{r}^{2}}\]           

    B)  \[3{{r}^{2}}-4r+1\]

    C)  \[6r-1\]             

    D)  \[4r+1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let \[{{S}_{n}}=2n+3{{n}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{S}_{n-1}}=2(n-1)+3{{(n-1)}^{2}}\] \[=2n-2+3{{n}^{2}}+3-6n\] \[=3{{n}^{2}}-4n+1\] \[\therefore \] \[{{T}_{n}}={{S}_{n}}-{{S}_{n-1}}\] \[=2n+3{{n}^{2}}-(3{{n}^{2}}-4n+1)=6n-1\] \[\therefore \] \[{{T}_{r}}=6r-1\]
