Let S(K)=1+3+5........+(2K−1)=3+K2. Then which of the following is true,
A. Principle of mathematical induction can be used to prove the formula.
B. S(K)⇒S(K+1)
C. S(K)=S(K+1)
D. S(1)is correct.
Solution
according to the question we have to check which option is correct if S(K)=1+3+5........+(2K−1)=3+K2.
So, first of all we have to check by option method to satisfy the given expression S(K)=1+3+5........+(2K−1)=3+K2.
Hence, which option satisfies the given expression in the question that is the answer of the question.
Complete answer:
Step 1: First of all we have to check by option (D) that it satisfies the given expression or not.
So, S(1)= 2(1)−1=3+(1)2
⇒1=4
So, in the above solution L.H.S is not equal to R.S Hence, option (D) is wrong.
Step 2: Now, we have to check by option (B) that it satisfies the given expression or not.
⇒S(K)=1+3+5........+(2K−1)=3+K2
Now, we have to add (2k+1)to the both side of the given expression,
⇒S(K)=1+3+5........+(2K−1)+2k+1=3+K2+2k+1
Step 3: Now, we have to see that the term K2+2k+1 in the expression obtained in the solution step 2 is the perfect square of (K+1). So we can see that expression in the form of (K+1) as mentioned below.
⇒S(K)=3+(K+1)2
Step 4: Now, we can see that the R.H.S of the expression obtained in the solution step 3 is in the form of S(K+1) as mentioned below.
⇒S(K)=S(K+1)
Hence, satisfy the given expression S(K)=1+3+5........+(2K−1)=3+K2
Final solution: Hence, the given expression if let S(K)=1+3+5........+(2K−1)=3+K2 then S(K)=S(K+1) satisfy the expression.
Hence, Option (B) is correct.
Note: It is necessary that we have to check by option method to satisfy the given expression in the question.
It is necessary to add (2k+1) in the solution step to make the R.H.S of the given expression in the perfect square of(k+1).
