Statement 1 : The sum of the first 30 terms of the sequence 1,2,4,7,11,16, 22,....is 4520
Statement 2 : If the successive differences of the terms of a sequence form an A.P., then general term of sequence is of the form an 2 + bn + c.

Verified by ExpertsD
S = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 11 + 16...............T n ...(i)
S = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 11 ...............T n ...(ii)
(i) – (ii) we get
O = 1+(1+2+3+4+5............(n–1) term) – T n ⇒ 
∴ General term = T n = an 2 + bn + c here a = 1/2 , b= –1/2 , c = 1
S n =
=
–
+ n
S 30 =
–
+ 30 = 4727.5 – 232.5 + 30 = 4525
