A . P .

If the sum of first n terms of an A.P. is cn2, then the sum of squares of these n terms is

A) \frac{n(4n^{2}-1)c^{2}}{6} B) \frac{n(4n^{2}+1)c^{2}}{3} C) \frac{n(4n^{2}-1)c^{2}}{3} D) \frac{n(4n^{2}+1)c^{2}}{6}

The fact is simple.. without solving..

SUm of first n odd numbers is n^2 (This is a very old observation)

WHat we do is take c, 3c, 5c, ... and so on

what we have to do is to find

(c)^2 {12+32+52+....+(2n-1)2}

Can you first prove the fact that I said (not a veyr tough thing...)
Second find the sum that I have given

another way
S(n)=cn^2
T(n)=c(2n-1)
hence we got what nishant sir told

simply put n =1

so first termof AP = c

since sum of square of 1st term of Ap =c2

and only option c gives ans as c2 hence option C shud be the an s
