S ( k ) =1+ 3+5….+ ( 2 k −1 )=3+ k 2
Put k =1 in both sides, we get
LHS ¿ 1 and RHS¿ 3+1=4
⟹ LHS ≠ RHS
Put (k + 1) in both sides in the place of k , we get
LHS=1+3+ 5….+ ( 2 k −1 ) + ( 2 k +1 )

Let LHS=RHS
RHS=3+¿

Then,1+3+5 ….+ ( 2 k −1 ) + ( 2 k +1 )

¿ 3+k + 2k + 1
⟹ 1+3+5+¿…+ ( 2 k −1 )=3+ k 2
If S(k) is true, then S(k +1) is also true.
Hence, S(k)⟹ S (k + 1)

1/ 6 100−r
Cr ( 5 )
100 1/ 8 r
T r+ 1= (2 )
As 5 and 2 are relatively prime, T r+ 1 will be rational, if

and are both integers ie , if 100−r is a multiple of 6 and r is a

100−r r
6 8
multiple of 8. As 0 ≤ r ≤100 , multiples of 8 upto 100 and corresponding value
of 100−r are
r =0 , 8 ,16 , 24 ,… . , 88 , 96
ie , 100−r=100 , 92 , 84 , 76 , … ,12 , 4
Out of 100−r , multiples of 6 are 84, 60, 36, 12
∴ There are four rational terms
Hence, number of irrational terms is 101−4=97

We have,
