If S1 is the sum of an arithmetic progression of 'n' odd number of terms and S2 the sum of the terms of the series in odd places, then =
S1 = (2a + (n–1) d)
Out of these odd numbers of terms, there are terms in odd places
S2 = (2a + (
–1) d)
Common difference of two odd places is 2d
S2 = (2a + (n–1) d)
Now,
=
