Detailed Solution

2,3,4........ are in A.P

tn=a+(n1)d

=2+(n1)1=2+n1=n+1

1,2,22      ....... are in G.P

tn=arn1=1.2n1=2n1

nth  term =(n+1)2n1

S(n)=2+3.2+422++(n+1)2n1

=n2n

Let S(n) be the given statement.

put n=1 

L.H.S =(1+1)211=2.20=2

R.H.S =121=2

L.H.S = R.H.S

S(1) is true

Assume that S(k) is true for some kN

2+32+422++(k+1)2k1=k2k

adding (k+1)th  term on both sides

2+3.2+4.22+.+(k+1)2k1+(k+2)2k

=k2k+(k+2)2k

=2k(k+k+2)

=2k(2k+2)=2k2(k+1)=(k+1)2k+1

S(k+1) is true

By the principle of finite mathematical induction
S(n) is true nN
