If S n = 4 + 11 + 21 + 34 + 50 + … to n terms, then 1 60 S 29 - S 9 is equal to

If Sn=4+11+21+34+50+ to n terms, then 160S29-S9  is equal to
  1. 223
  2. 226
  3. 220
  4. 227

Solution

Given,

Sn=4+11+21+34+............+TnSn=        4+11+21+34......+Tn-1+Tn

Subtracting above equations, we get

0=4+7+10+13+....-Tn

Tn=4+7+10+13+...

The above series is in AP.

Tn=n22×4+n-13

Tn=n23n+5

So,

Sn=3n2+5n2

Sn=123n(n+1)(2n+1)6+5nn+12

Sn=nn+12(2n+1)2+52

S29=29×302592+52

S29=29×15×32=13920

S9=9×102192+52

S9=9×5×12=540

S29-S960=13920-54060=223.

Therefore, the required answer is 223.
