If the sum of the first $2n$ terms of the A.P. $2,\ 5,\ 8\ ..$ is equal to the sum of the first $n$ terms of the A.P. $57,\ 59,\ 61,\ ...$, then find $n$
Given: the sum of the first $2n$ terms of the A.P. $2,\ 5,\ 8\ ..$ is equal to the sum of the first $n$ terms of the A.P. $57,\ 59,\ 61,\ ...$.
To do: To find $n$.
Solution:
In $2,\ 5,\ 8,...$ The sum of first $2n$ terms
$=\frac{2n}{2}[2( 2)+( 2n−1)( 3)]$
$=n( 6n+1)$
In $57,\ 59,\ 61,\ ...$ is The sum of n terms
$=\frac{n}{2}[2(57)+(n−1)(2)]$
$=n(56+n)$
Also given, $n(6n+1)=n(56+n)$
$\Rightarrow 6n+1=56+n$
$\Rightarrow 5n=55$
$\Rightarrow n=11$
