#### Solution

$\frac{n + 1}{n}$

Given:
Sum of the even natural numbers = k$\times$ Sum of the odd natural numbers

$\frac{n}{2}\left\{ 2a + \left( n - 1 \right)d \right\} = k \times \frac{n}{2}\left\{ 2a + \left( n - 1 \right)d \right\}$

$\Rightarrow \left\{ 2 \times 2 + \left( n - 1 \right)2 \right\} = k \times \left\{ 2 \times 1 + \left( n - 1 \right)2 \right\}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{4 + \left( n - 1 \right)2}{2 + \left( n - 1 \right)2} = k$

$\Rightarrow \frac{n + 1}{n} = k$
