If the sum of first n even natural number is equal to k times the sum of first n odd natural numbers, then k =
A. $\frac{1}{n}$ B. $\frac{n-1}{n}$ C. $\frac{n+1}{2 n}$ D. $\frac{n+1}{n}$ Answer: Option DShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
Sum of n even natural number = n(n+1)
and sum of n odd natural numbers = $n^{2}$
$\begin{aligned}\therefore n(n+1)&=kn^2\\
\Rightarrow k&=\frac{n(n+1)}{n^2}\\
&=\frac{n+1}{n}\end{aligned}$
