Answer:

The sum of first 4n terms is -10n.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for sum of n terms of an AP is

S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

It is given that the sum of the first n terms of an A. P. is 2n and the sum of the first 2n terms is n.

\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]=2n

2a+(n-1)d=4                          ..... (1)

\frac{2n}{2}[2a+(2n-1)d]=n

2a+(2n-1)d=1                          ..... (2)

Solve equation (1) and (2) by elimination method.

d=-\frac{3}{n}

a=\frac{1}{2}(7-\frac{3}{n})

The sum of first 4n terms is

S_{4n}=\frac{4n}{2}[2a+(4n-1)d]

S_{4n}=2n[2a+(4n-1)d]

Put the value of a and d.

S_{4n}=2n[2(\frac{1}{2}(7-\frac{3}{n}))+(4n-1)(-\frac{3}{n})]

S_{4n}=2n[7-\frac{3}{n}-12+\frac{3}{n}]

S_{4n}=2n[-5]

S_{4n}=-10n

Therefore the sum of 4n terms is -10n.
