18. If there are (2n + 1) terms in an arithmetic series, then prove that the ratio of the sum of odd terms to the sum of even terms is (n+1):n.
Answered by admin @
There are (2n +1) terms in an arithmetic series.
Let a , a + d , a + 2d , a + 3d , a + 4d ....... + a + (2n +1-1)d
Here, odd terms are : a , a + 2d , a + 4d , a + 6d , ...... a + 2nd
Let number of odd terms = r and common difference = 2d
Tr = a + (r - 1)2d
a + 2nd = a + (r - 1)2d
2nd/2d = r - 1
r = n + 1
Hence, there are (n +1) odd terms
Now, sum of odd terms = (n+1)/2[a + a + 2nd] [∵ Sn = n/2[first term + nth term]]
= (n + 1)(a + nd) -----(1)
Similarly, even terms are a +d , a + 3d , a + 5d , ...... a + (2n -1)d
Number of even terms = 2n+1 - (n +1) = n
Now, sum of even terms = n/2[a + d + a + (2n-1)d]
= n(a + d)
Now, sum of odd terms/sum of even terms = (n+1)(a+d)/n(a+d)
= (n + 1)/n
