The correct Answer is:
To find the sum to n terms of the series: \[ S_n = \log a + \log \frac{a^3}{b} + \log \frac{a^5}{b^2} + \log \frac{a^7}{b^3} + \ldots \] we can break down the series into two parts: the logarithms of the numerators and the logarithms of the denominators. ### Step 1: Rewrite the series We can express the series as: \[ S_n = \left( \log a + \log a^3 + \log a^5 + \ldots + \log a^{(2n-1)} \right) - \left( \log b + \log b^2 + \log b^3 + \ldots + \log b^{(n-1)} \right) \] ### Step 2: Simplify the first part The first part of the series can be simplified using the property of logarithms: \[ \log a + \log a^3 + \log a^5 + \ldots + \log a^{(2n-1)} = \log \left( a^{1 + 3 + 5 + \ldots + (2n-1)} \right) \] The sum of the first n odd numbers is \( n^2 \). Therefore, we have: \[ 1 + 3 + 5 + \ldots + (2n-1) = n^2 \] Thus, the first part becomes: \[ \log \left( a^{n^2} \right) = n^2 \log a \] ### Step 3: Simplify the second part The second part of the series is: \[ \log b + \log b^2 + \log b^3 + \ldots + \log b^{(n-1)} = \log \left( b^{1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + (n-1)} \right) \] The sum of the first \( n-1 \) natural numbers is given by: \[ 1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + (n-1) = \frac{(n-1)n}{2} \] Thus, the second part becomes: \[ \log \left( b^{\frac{(n-1)n}{2}} \right) = \frac{(n-1)n}{2} \log b \] ### Step 4: Combine both parts Now, we can combine both parts to find the sum \( S_n \): \[ S_n = n^2 \log a - \frac{(n-1)n}{2} \log b \] ### Final Result Therefore, the sum to n terms of the series is: \[ S_n = n^2 \log a - \frac{(n-1)n}{2} \log b \]
