Question: The first term of an A.P. of consecutive integers is \(p ^ { 2 } + 1\) The sum of \(( 2 p + 1 )\) ...
The first term of an A.P. of consecutive integers is p2+1 The sum of (2p+1) terms of this series can be expressed as.
A
(p+1)2
B
(p+1)3
C
(2p+1)(p+1)2
D
p3+(p+1)3
Answer
p3+(p+1)3
Explanation
Solution
S2p+1=22p+1{2(p2+1)+(2p+1−1)1}
=(22p+1)(2p2+2p+2)=(2p+1)(p2+p+1)
=p3+(p+1)3.
