    Fill in the blanks.
    (i)  If the ratio of sum of n terms of two A.P is \[(7n+1)\,:\,(4n+27),\] then ratio of their \[{{m}^{th}}\] terms is P.
    (ii) Sum of n odd natural numbers is Q
    (iii) If sum of n terms of three A.P. are
    \[{{S}_{1}},{{S}_{2}},{{S}_{3}}\]. The first term of each is 1 and common difference are 1, 2 and 3 respectively, then \[\frac{{{S}_{1}}+{{S}_{3}}}{{{S}_{2}}}=\underline{R}\]

    A)
    P Q R
     \[\frac{14m-6}{8m+23}\] \[{{n}^{2}}\] 2
                   

    B)
    \[\frac{13m+6}{7m+9}\] \[{{n}^{2}}\] 5
                   

    C)
    \[\frac{14m+6}{8m+23}\] \[2n+1\] 1
                   

    D)
    \[\frac{7m+1}{4m+27}\] \[2n-1\] 3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (i) Let \[{{S}_{n}}\] be the sum of n terms of 1st A.P. and \[S{{'}_{n}}\] be sum of n terms of 2nd A.P. According to question, \[\frac{{{S}_{n}}}{S{{'}_{n}}}=\frac{7n+1}{4n+27}\] \[\frac{\frac{n}{2}\left[ 2{{a}_{1}}+\left( n-1 \right){{d}_{1}} \right]}{\frac{n}{2}\left[ 2{{a}_{2}}+\left( n-1 \right){{d}_{2}} \right]}=\frac{7n+1}{4n+27}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[\frac{2{{a}_{1}}+\left( n-1 \right){{d}_{1}}}{2{{a}_{2}}\left( n-1 \right){{d}_{2}}}=\frac{7n+1}{4n+27}\] Put \[n=(2m-1)\] in above equation, we get \[\frac{2{{a}_{1}}+\left( 2m-1-1 \right){{d}_{1}}}{2{{a}_{2}}+\left( 2m-1-1 \right){{d}_{2}}}=\frac{7\left( 2m-1 \right)+1}{4\left( 2m-1 \right)+27}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{\left[ {{a}_{1}}+\left( m-1 \right){{d}_{1}} \right]}{\left[ {{a}_{2}}+\left( m-1 \right){{d}_{2}} \right]}=\frac{14m-6}{8m+23}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\frac{{{a}_{m}}}{{{a}_{m}}}=\frac{14m-6}{8m+23}\] (ii)  A.P. of odd n natural numbers is 1, 3, 5, ............ \[{{S}_{n}}=\frac{n}{2}\left[ 2(1)+\left( n-1 \right)\left( 2 \right) \right]=\frac{n}{2}\times 2n={{n}^{2}}\] (iii) We have, \[{{S}_{1}}=\frac{n}{2}\left[ 2(1)+\left( n-1 \right)\left( 1 \right) \right]=\frac{n}{2}\left[ n+1 \right]\] \[{{S}_{2}}=\frac{n}{2}\left[ 2(1)+\left( n-1 \right)\left( 2 \right) \right]=\frac{n}{2}\times 2n={{n}^{2}}\] \[{{S}_{3}}=\frac{n}{2}\left[ 2(1)+\left( n-1 \right)\left( 3 \right) \right]=\frac{n}{2}\left[ 3n-1 \right]\] Now,  \[\frac{{{S}_{1}}+{{S}_{3}}}{{{S}_{2}}}=2\]
