A) 3
B) 1
C) \[\frac{1}{2}\]
D) 2
E) 0
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
\[({{S}_{n+3}}-{{S}_{n+2}})-2({{S}_{n+2}}-{{S}_{n+1}})({{S}_{n+1}}-{{S}_{n}})\] \[{{t}_{n+3}}-2{{t}_{n+2}}+{{t}_{n+1}}\] Let a and d be first term and common difference of an AP respectively \[\therefore \]\[{{t}_{n+3}}-2{{t}_{n+2}}{{t}_{n+1}}=a+(n+3-1)d\] \[-2\{a+(n+2-1)d\}+a+(n+1-1)d\] \[=2a-2a+d(n+2-2n-2+n)\] \[=0+d(0)=0\] \[\therefore \]\[{{S}_{n+3}}-3{{S}_{n+2}}+3{{S}_{n+1}}-{{S}_{n}}=0\]You need to login to perform this action.
