The correct Answer is:
To find the \( n^{th} \) term of the arithmetic progression (A.P.) given that the sum of the first \( n \) terms \( S_n \) is \( 2n^2 + 5n \), we can use the formula for the \( n^{th} \) term of an A.P., which is: \[ T_n = S_n - S_{n-1} \] ### Step 1: Calculate \( S_{n-1} \) First, we need to find \( S_{n-1} \). We can substitute \( n-1 \) into the expression for \( S_n \): \[ S_{n-1} = 2(n-1)^2 + 5(n-1) \] Expanding this: \[ S_{n-1} = 2(n^2 - 2n + 1) + 5(n - 1) \] \[ = 2n^2 - 4n + 2 + 5n - 5 \] \[ = 2n^2 + (5n - 4n) + (2 - 5) \] \[ = 2n^2 + n - 3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( T_n \) Now we can find \( T_n \): \[ T_n = S_n - S_{n-1} \] \[ = (2n^2 + 5n) - (2n^2 + n - 3) \] Distributing the negative sign: \[ = 2n^2 + 5n - 2n^2 - n + 3 \] Now, simplifying: \[ = (2n^2 - 2n^2) + (5n - n) + 3 \] \[ = 0 + 4n + 3 \] \[ = 4n + 3 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the \( n^{th} \) term \( T_n \) of the A.P. is: \[ \boxed{4n + 3} \]
