Question


There is an arithmetic progression with first term = common difference. The number of terms in this series is 2x. A new series is formed taking the odd terms of the first series upto (2x-1)th term. Find the ratio of the sum of the terms in the old series to that in the new series.


Options:
A .   4x3x1
B .   13
C .   2x+1x
D .   23
E .   a < -2
Answer: Option C
:
C

Option (c)


Let the first term = 1, cd = 1


Take x = 2, 2x = 4, the progression is 1, 2, 3, 4


New progression = 1, 3


Sum to x terms of progression 1 = 1+2+3+4 = 10


Sum to new progression = 4


Ratio=104=52.
Only option c satisfies this condition.
