1 5 9 19 49 101 181 (series is t)
4 14 30 52 80 114 (Series is s)
10 16 22 28 34 (series is a)

ar = 10 + (n-1)6 = 6n-4
Σsr = 4+14+30+52+80+...+sn
Σsr = 4 +14+30+52+...+sn-1 + sn
Subtracting, sn = 4+10+16+...+(4+(n-1)6)
= n2(8+6n-2)
sn = 3n(n+1) ... (i)
tr+1 = tr+sr-1, r>1
So, tr = t2 + s1 + s2+s3+...+sr-2
= 5 + Σsr (r=1 to r-2) which can easily be obtained from (i)

Now sum of n terms = 6 + Σtr(r=3 to n-2)
