the sequence will be:
1,-1,3,-3,5,-5....

sum of this sequence is positive when n is odd and 0 when n is even

(1) when n is odd, sum of the seq will be equal to n, which is positive. all the other numbers get cancelled
Suff.

(2)an is positive. this indicates that n is odd.
Suff

ans is D

Thanks!
