    If \[{{S}_{1}},\ {{S}_{2}},\ {{S}_{3}},...........{{S}_{m}}\] are the sums of \[n\] terms of \[m\] A.P.'s whose first terms are \[1,\ 2,\ 3,\ ...............,m\] and common differences are \[1,\ 3,\ 5,\ ...........2m-1\] respectively, then \[{{S}_{1}}+{{S}_{2}}+{{S}_{3}}+.......{{S}_{m}}=\]

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}mn(mn+1)\]

    B) \[mn(m+1)\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{4}mn(mn-1)\]

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here \[a=1,\ 2,\ 3,\,........,m;\ \ \ d=1,\ 3,\ 5,........,2m-1\] and \[n=n\], then \[{{S}_{1}}+{{S}_{2}}+.......+{{S}_{m}}=\frac{1}{2}mn(mn+1)\] \[\left[ \text{Using}\ S\ =\frac{m}{2}(a+l).\ \text{Since}\ {{S}_{1}},\ {{S}_{2}},\ {{S}_{3}},......{{S}_{m}}\ \text{form}\ \text{an}\ \text{A}\text{.P}\text{.} \right]\]
