उत्तर
Here, a = a2 − b2 and r = \[\frac{1}{a + b}\]
\[\therefore S_n = a\left( \frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r} \right) \]
\[ = \left( a^2 - b^2 \right) \left( \frac{1 - \left( \frac{1}{a + b} \right)^n}{1 - \left( \frac{1}{a + b} \right)} \right) \]
\[ = \left( a^2 - b^2 \right)\left( \frac{\left( \frac{\left( a + b \right)^n - 1}{\left( a + b \right)^n} \right)}{\frac{\left( a + b \right) - 1}{a + b}} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow S_n = \frac{\left( a + b \right)\left( a - b \right)}{\left( a + b \right)^{n - 1}}\left( \frac{\left( a + b \right)^n - 1}{\left( a + b \right) - 1} \right)\]
\[ = \frac{\left( a - b \right)}{\left( a + b \right)^{n - 2}}\left( \frac{\left( a + b \right)^n - 1}{\left( a + b \right) - 1} \right)\]
