Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence of positive odd numbers is
1, 3, 5, 7, ......
This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference d
d = 3 - 1 = 5 - 3 = 7 - 5 = 2
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is
=
[2a + (n - 1)d ]
where a is the first term
here a = 1, d = 2, n = 12, hence
=
[1 + (11 × 2) ]
= 6 [ 2 + (11 × 2) ]
= 6 × 24 = 144 → A
