Let S1 be the sum of first 2n terms of an arithmetic progression. Let S2 be the sum of first 4n terms of the same arithmetic progression. If (S2 S1) is 1000, then the sum of the first 6n terms of the arithmetic progression is equal to :
- A7000
- B1000
- C3000
- D5000

Correct answer: C
-
Let the arithmetic progression have first term and common difference .
-
Sum of first terms of an AP is
So,
And,
- Given:
Now, represents the sum of terms from -th to -th, i.e. exactly terms.
Also, represents the sum of terms from -th to -th, again terms.
Since these two blocks each contain consecutive terms of an AP, their sums are not generally equal. So we compute directly.
- Write the sums explicitly:
Now compute:
Factor :
Given this equals , so
- Now find :
Using the relation above,
- Therefore the correct option is
