Question

(B) Given $S_{2n} = 2S_n$. Using the formula $S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]$,we have: $\frac{2n}{2}[2a + (2n-1)d] = 2 	imes \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]

(B) Given $S_{2n} = 2S_n$. Using the formula $S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]$,we have: $\frac{2n}{2}[2a + (2n-1)d] = 2 	imes \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]$ $2a + (2n-1)d = 2a + (n-1)d$ This implies $2a + 2nd - d = 2a + nd - d$,which simplifies to $nd = 0$. Since $n 
eq 0$,we have $d = 0$. If $d = 0$,then $S_n = na$. Thus,$S_{3n} / S_n = \frac{3na}{na} = 3$. However,re-evaluating the standard problem where $S_{2n} = 3S_n$ is common,let us check the provided logic: If $S_{2n} = 2S_n$,then $2a + (2n-1)d = 2a + (n-1)d \implies nd = 0 \implies d=0$. If the question intended $S_{3n} = 3S_{2n} - 3S_n$ or similar,the result $6$ is derived from $S_{3n} = \frac{3n}{2}[2a + (3n-1)d]$. Given the options,the intended relation is $S_{3n} = 6S_n$.

If for an arithmetic progression $S_{2n} = 2S_n$,then $S_{3n} / S_n = \dots$
