उत्तर

If the sum of n terms of an A.P. be 3n2 + n and its common difference is 6, then its first term is 4.

Explanation:

In the given problem, the sum of n terms of an A.P. is given by the expression,

Sn = 3n2 + n

Here, we can find the first term by substituting n = 1 as sum of first term of the A.P. will be the same as the first term. So we get,

Sn = 3n2 + n

S1 = 3 (1)2 + (1)

= 3 + 1

= 4

Therefore, the first term of this A.P is a = 4.
