Paragraph:
Let \(V_r\) denotes the sum of the first \(r\) terms of an arithmetic progression \((A P)\) whose first term is \(r\) and the common difference is \((2 r-1)\). Let \(T_r=V_{r+1}-V_r-2\) and \(Q_r=T_{r+1}-T_r\) for \(r=1,2, \ldots\)
Question:
Which one of the following is a correct statement?

  1. A \(Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, \ldots\) are in AP with common difference 5
  2. B \(Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, \ldots\) are in AP with common difference 6
  3. C \(Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, \ldots\) are in AP with common difference 11
  4. D \(Q_1=Q_2=Q_3=\ldots\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, \ldots\) are in AP with common difference 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(T_r=3 r^2+2 r-1\)
\(\therefore T_{r+1} =3(r+1)^2+2(r+1)-1 \)
\( \therefore Q_r =T_{r+1}-T_r=3[2 r+1]+2[1] \)
\( \Rightarrow Q_r =6 r+5 \)
\( \Rightarrow Q_{r+1} =6(r+1)+5\)
Common difference \(=Q_{r+1}-Q_r=6\)
