To find which of the given options are true, let us first find the general term Tn and the sum ∑k=1nTk.
Step 1: Determine the general term an
The sequence a1,a2,a3,… is an Arithmetic Progression with first term a1=7 and common difference d=8. Therefore, the n-th term is:
an=a1+(n−1)d=7+(n−1)8=8n−1
Step 2: Determine the general term Tn
We are given that T1=3 and Tn+1−Tn=an for n≥1.
By telescoping the series for n≥2:
Tn=T1+∑k=1n−1ak
Substituting ak=8k−1:
Tn=3+k=1∑n−1(8k−1)=3+8⋅2(n−1)n−(n−1)=3+4n(n−1)−(n−1)=3+4n2−5n+1=4n2−5n+4
This formula holds for all n≥1 (for n=1, T1=4(1)2−5(1)+4=3).
Step 3: Evaluate the options
Check Option (A):
T20=4(20)2−5(20)+4=4(400)−100+4=1600−100+4=1504=1604
Thus, Option (A) is FALSE.
Check Option (B):
The sum of the first n terms of Tk is given by:
∑k=1nTk=∑k=1n(4k2−5k+4)=4∑k=1nk2−5∑k=1nk+4∑k=1n1
For n=20:
∑k=120k2=620⋅21⋅41=2870
∑k=120k=220⋅21=210
∑k=1201=20
Therefore:
∑k=120Tk=4(2870)−5(210)+4(20)=11480−1050+80=10510
Thus, Option (B) is TRUE.
Check Option (C):
T30=4(30)2−5(30)+4=4(900)−150+4=3600−150+4=3454
Thus, Option (C) is TRUE.
Check Option (D):
For n=30:
∑k=130k2=630⋅31⋅61=9455
∑k=130k=230⋅31=465
∑k=1301=30
Therefore:
∑k=130Tk=4(9455)−5(465)+4(30)=37820−2325+120=35615=35610
Thus, Option (D) is FALSE.
Conclusion:
The correct options are B and C.
