Given an example of a statement P (n) such that it is true for all n ∈ N.
उत्तर
Proved: \[P(n) = n^2 + n \text{ is even for } P(n) \text{ and } P(n + 1) . \]
\[\text{ Therefore } , \frac{n^2 + n}{2} \text{ is also even for all n} \in N . \left[ \text{ Dividing an even number by 2 gives an even number } . \right]\]
\[\text{ Thus, we have: } \]
\[P(n) = 1 + 2 + . . . + n \]
\[ = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} (\text{ Even for all n } \in N)\]

1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n = \[\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}\] i.e. the sum of the first n natural numbers is \[\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}\] .
\[\frac{1}{1 . 2} + \frac{1}{2 . 3} + \frac{1}{3 . 4} + . . . + \frac{1}{n(n + 1)} = \frac{n}{n + 1}\]
\[\frac{1}{1 . 4} + \frac{1}{4 . 7} + \frac{1}{7 . 10} + . . . + \frac{1}{(3n - 2)(3n + 1)} = \frac{n}{3n + 1}\]
