प्रश्न
Write the sum of first n odd natural numbers.
उत्तर
We need to find the sum of 1, 3, 5, 7... upto n terms.
Here, a = 1, d = 2
We know:
\[S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left\{ 2a + \left( n - 1 \right)d \right\}\]
\[ = \frac{n}{2}\left\{ 2 \times 1 + \left( n - 1 \right)2 \right\}\]
\[ = n^2\]
Therefore, the sum of the first n odd numbers is \[n^2\] .
