Vedclass · Answer

(c) We have first term $A = a$ ......$(i)$

Second term $A + d = b$......$(ii)$

and last term $l = 2a$......$(iii)$

From $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii),$ $ d=(b-a) $ and $n = \frac{b}{{b - a}}$

Then sum $S = \frac{n}{2}[a + l] = \frac{b}{{2(b - a)}}[a + 2a] = \frac{{3ab}}{{2(b - a)}}$

Trick : Let $a = 2,\;b = 3$then the sum $ = 9$ which is given by option $(c).$
