उत्तर
Let a and d be the first term and the common difference of AP, respectively.
We know
`S_n=n/2[2a+(n-1)d]`
`:.S_8=8/2[2a+(8-1)d] " and "S_4= 4/2[2a+(4-1)d]`
⇒S8=4(2a+7d) and S4=2(2a+3d)
⇒S8=8a+28d and S4=4a+6d
Now,
3(S8−S4)=3(8a+28d−4a−6d)
= 3(4a+22d)
= 6(2a+11d)
`=12/2[2a+(12-1)d]`
= S12
∴ S12=3(S8−S4)

The students of a school decided to beautify the school on the Annual Day by fixing colourful flags on the straight passage of the school. They have 27 flags to be fixed at intervals of every 2 m. The flags are stored at the position of the middle most flag. Ruchi was given the responsibility of placing the flags. Ruchi kept her books where the flags were stored.
