Solution

In the given problem, we need to find the sum of terms for a given arithmetic progression,

So, here we use the following formula for the sum of n terms of an A.P.,

Where; a = first term for the given A.P.

d = common difference of the given A.P.

n = number of terms

Here,

Common difference of the A.P. (d) =

Number of terms (n) = n

First term for the given A.P. (a) =

So, using the formula we get,

Now, taking common from both the terms inside the bracket we get,

Therefore, the sum of first n terms for the given A.P. is. So, the correct option is (c).
