Solution

The correct option is C $a_{48} = 2 (1 - 2^{47})$
$a_{0} = 1, a_{1} = 0 and a_{n} = 3 a_{n - 1} - 2 a_{n - 2} ∴ (a_{n} - 2 a_{n - 1}) = (a_{n - 1} - 2 a_{n - 2}) = k (let) So, a_{1} - 2 a_{0} = k = - 2 ∴ a_{n} = 2 a_{n - 1} - 2 \Rightarrow a_{n} - 2 = 2 (a_{n - 2} - 2) Let b_{n} = 2 \cdot b_{n - 1} ∴ b_{0}, b_{1}, b_{2}, \dots, b_{n} are in G.P. . b_{n} = b_{0} \cdot 2^{n} \Rightarrow b_{n} = (- 1)^{n} \cdot 2^{n} \Rightarrow a_{n} - 2 = - 2^{n} ∴ a_{n} = 2 - 2^{n} ∴ a_{48} = 2 (1 - 2^{47})$

Let {a_{n}} be a sequence such that a_{0} = 1, a_{1} = 0, a_{n} = 3 a_{n - 1} - 2 a_{n - 2} . Then, which of the following is a correct statement?

lim n \to \infty a_{n} = n

a_{1} = \frac{1}{2} (a_{0} + \frac{A}{a_{0}}), a_{2} = \frac{1}{2} (a_{1} + \frac{A}{a_{1}})
