****PASSAGE:- Suppose a series of n terms is given by
then
S n 1 t1 t 2 t3 t n 1
S n S n 1 t n
,n>2
S n S n 1
Further if we put n=1 in the first sum then S1 = t1 .Thus we can write tn =
,n>2
and t1 = S1 .The above result can be used to find the terms of any kind of series , if the sum is
given .(Q36. to Q40.)
