3rd question:

a1, a2, a3,  a4, ...................... are in A.P. with common difference d

S1  =  n/2 (2a1 + (n - 1)d)  =  a1n  +  n2d/2  -  dn/2

S2  =  (S1 + S2) - S1  =  n (2a1 + (2n - 1)d) - S1  =  a1n  +  3n2d/2  -  dn/2

S3  =  (S1 + S2 + S3) - (S1 + S2)  =  a1n  +  5n2d/2  -  dn/2

Now note that :  2S2  =  S1  +  S3
S1, S2, S3, .......................................... are in A.P. whose difference is S2 - S1   =   S3 - S2  
=  n2
