15. We can write the given statement as
P(n)=12+32+52+ … + (2n – 1)2=
forn=1
P(1)=12=1=
= which is true.
Consider P(k) be true for some positive integer k
P(k)=12+32+52+ … + (2n – 1)2= ------------------(1)
Now, let us prove that P(k+1) is true.
Here,
12+32+52+ … +(2k – 1)2+(2(k+1) –1)2
By using (1),
=
=
=
=
we can write as,
=
=
=
=
=
P(k+1) is true whenever P(k) is true.
Hence, from the principle of mathematical induction, the P(n) is true for all natural number n.

14. Let the given statement be P(n) i.e.,
P(n)= …
If n =1
P(1)= = 2 =1+1= 2
which is true.
Assume that P(k) is true for some positive integer k i.e.,
P(k): … .---------------------(1)
Now, let us prove that P(k+1) is true.
Here,
P(k+1)= …
By using (1), we get
(k+1).
L.C.M.=(k+1).
= (k+1)+1
? P(k+1) is true whenever P(k) is true.
Therefore from the principle of mathematical induction the P(n) is true for all natural numbers n.

13. We can write given statement as
P(n): …
If n=1, we get
P(1): =4=(1+ 1)2=22=4
which is true.
Consider P(k) be true for some positive integer k.
… (1)
Now, let us prove that P(k+1) is true.
…
By using (1)
=(k+1)2
=(k+1)2
=(k+1)2+2(k+1)+1
={(k+1)+1}2
P(k+1) is true whenever P(k) is true.
Therefore, by principle of mathematical induction, the P(n) is true for all natural number n.

12. Let the given statement be P(n) i.e.,
P(n)=a+ar+ar2+ … +arn-1==
If n = 1, we get
P(1)=a= =a
which is true.
Consider P(k) be true for some positive integer k
a+ar+ar2+ … +ark-1= (1)
Now, let us prove that P(k+1) is true.
Here, {a+ar+ar2+ … +ark-1}+ar(k+1) –1
By using (1),
=
=
=
=
=
P(k+1) is true whenever P(k) is true.
Therefore, by the principle of mathematical induction, statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers i.e.,
