Detailed Solution

Since, a1,a2,a3,,an form an AP.

 a2a1=a4a3==a2na2n1=d

 Let S=a12a22+a32a42++a2n12a2n2=a1a2a1+a2+a3a4a3+a4++a2n1a2na2n1+a2n

=da1+a2++a2n=d2n2a1+a2n(i)

Also, we know  a2n=a1+(2n1)d

 d=a2na12n1d=a1a2n2n1

On putting the value of d in Eq. (i), we get

S=na1a2na1+a2n2n1=n2n1a12a2n2
