QJEEM24Maad75: JEE Main 2024 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM24Maad75 Solution: Let the first term of a series be and its term , ............ . …

Let the first term of a series be T1=6T_1=6 and its rth r^{\text {th }} term Tr=3Tr−1+6r,r=2,3T_r=3 T_{r-1}+6^r, r=2,3 , ............ nn . If the sum of the first nn terms of this series is 15(n2−12n+39)(4⋅6n−5⋅3n+1)\frac{1}{5}\left(n^2-12 n+39\right)\left(4 \cdot 6^n-5 \cdot 3^n+1\right) , then nn is equal to ___________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

amp;Tr=3Tr−1+6ramp;⇒ solving homogenous part amp;Tr=3Tr−1amp;⇒x=3 is the root \begin{aligned}& T_r=3 T_{r-1}+6^r \\& \Rightarrow \text { solving homogenous part } \\& T_r=3 T_{r-1} \\& \Rightarrow x=3 \text { is the root }\end{aligned}

∴Tr=a.3r\therefore T_r=a .3^r

Solving for particular part

amp;Tr=b.6ramp;b.6r=3b6r−1+6ramp;⇒6b=3b+6amp;⇒3b=6amp;⇒b=2amp;Tr=an+apamp;Tr=a3br+2.6r.... (i)amp;Tr=3Tr−1+6r\begin{aligned}& T_r=b .6^r \\& b .6^r=3 b 6^{r-1}+6^r \\& \Rightarrow 6 b=3 b+6 \\& \Rightarrow 3 b=6 \\& \Rightarrow b=2 \\& T_r=a^n+a^p \\& T_r=a 3^{b r}+2.6^r \quad \text{.... (i)} \\& T_r=3 T_{r-1}+6^r\end{aligned}

Putting r=2r=2

T2=18+36=54.... (ii)T_2=18+36=54 \quad \text{.... (ii)}

Using equation (i) and (ii)

amp;54=9a+72⇒−18=9a⇒a=−2amp;∴Tr=2⋅6r−2⋅3r=2(6r−3r)amp;∑r=1nTr=2∑6r−2∑3ramp;=2⋅6(6n−1)5−2⋅3(3n−1)2amp;=35(4⋅6n−5⋅3n+1)amp;∴n2−12n+39=3amp;n2−12n+36=0amp;(n−6)2=0amp;∴n=6\begin{aligned}& 54=9 a+72 \Rightarrow-18=9 a \Rightarrow a=-2 \\& \therefore T_r=2 \cdot 6^r-2 \cdot 3^r=2\left(6^r-3^r\right) \\& \sum_{r=1}^n T_r=2 \sum 6^r-2 \sum 3^r \\& =2 \cdot 6 \frac{\left(6^n-1\right)}{5}-2 \cdot 3 \frac{\left(3^n-1\right)}{2} \\& =\frac{3}{5}\left(4 \cdot 6^n-5 \cdot 3^n+1\right) \\& \therefore n^2-12 n+39=3 \\& n^2-12 n+36=0 \\& (n-6)^2=0 \\& \therefore n=6\end{aligned}
