उत्तर
Given: Sn = 3n2 + 6n
We know that the nth term of an A.
∴ an = Sn − Sn−1
Sn−1 = 3(n − 1)2 + 6(n − 1)
= 3(n2 − 2n + 1) + 6n − 6
= 3n2 − 6n + 3 + 6n − 6
= 3n2 − 3
∴ an = Sn − Sn−1
= (3n2 + 6n) − (3n2 − 3)
= 3n2 + 6n − 3n2 + 3
= 6n + 3
Thus, nth term of this A.P. is 6n + 3.

Find the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4.
Activity: Natural numbers between 1 to 140 divisible by 4 are, 4, 8, 12, 16,......, 136
Here d = 4, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 4, d = 4, tn = 136, Sn = ?
tn = a + (n – 1)d
`square` = 4 + (n – 1) × 4
`square` = (n – 1) × 4
n = `square`
Now,
Sn = `"n"/2["a" + "t"_"n"]`
Sn = 17 × `square`
Sn = `square`
Therefore, the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4 is `square`.
