Solution
The given sequence is `1/6, 1/4, 1/3`
The above sequence is an A.P.
∴ a = `1/6`
d = `1/4 -1/6`
= `(3 - 2)/12`
= `1/12`
The next four terms of the sequence are
t4 = t3 + d
= `1/3 + 1/12`
= `5/12`
t5 = t4 + d
= `5/12 + 1/12`
= `6/12`
= `1/2`
t6 = t5 + d
= `1/2 + 1/12`
= `7/12`
t7 = t6 + d
= `7/12 + 1/12`
= `8/12`
= `2/3`
`S_n = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d]`
= `n/2 [2(1/6) + (n - 1)(1/12)]`
= `n/2 (1/3 + 1/12 n - 1/12)`
= `n/2(n/12 + 1/4)`
∴ `S_n = (n(n + 3))/24`
