Question 18.

If a1+a2+a3+....+an=3(2n+12)a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + .... + a_n = 3(2^{n + 1} - 2), for every n1n \geq 1, then a11a_{11} equals

A

C
D

Question Explanation

Text Explanation

11th term of series = a11a_{11}​ = Sum of 11 terms - Sum of 10 terms = 3(211+12)3(210+12)3(2^{11+1}−2)-3(2^{10+1}−2)

= 3(2122211+2)=3(211)(21)=3×2113(2^{12}−2−2^{11}+2) = 3(2^{11})(2-1) = 3 \times 2^{11} = 6144
