Answer

The sum of the first six terms $\left( {{S}_{6}} \right)$ of the sequence, $3,6,9,12,\ldots $ is$63$.

Work Step by Step

$3,6,9,12,\ldots $ So, the expansion of the sequence is, ${{a}_{n}}=3n$, For, ${{S}_{6}}$ The sum of the first $6$ terms of the sequence is given by, $\begin{align} & {{S}_{6}}=3+6+9+12+15+18 \\ & =9+9+12+33 \\ & =63 \end{align}$. Thus, the sum of the first six terms $\left( {{S}_{6}} \right)$ of the sequence $3,6,9,12,\ldots $ is $63$.
