Given series is 1,5,9,13,17....
\n" ); document.write( " first term (a)= 1
\n" ); document.write( " difference b/w first term and second term = 5-1 =4
\n" ); document.write( "difference b/w second and third term = 9-5=4
\n" ); document.write( "every where difference b/w two consecutive terms is 4
\n" ); document.write( "hence the give series is Arithmetic series
\n" ); document.write( "formula ; \"+sum+=+%28n%2F2%29%282a%2B%28n-1%29d%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " where n= no of terms
\n" ); document.write( " d is common difference
\n" ); document.write( " n= 20
\n" ); document.write( "d= 4
\n" ); document.write( "a = 1
\n" ); document.write( "sum = \"+%2820%2F2%29%28+2%2A1%2B%2820-1%29%2A4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " =\"+10%2A%282%2B19%2A4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " =\"10%2A%282%2B76%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " =\"10%2A78\"
\n" ); document.write( " =780
\n" ); document.write( "Result : sum =780
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
