  • question_answer
    The sum of the series \[1+(1+2)+(1+2+3)+............\]upto \[n\] terms, will be  [MP PET 1986]

    A) \[{{n}^{2}}-2n+6\]

    B) \[\frac{n(n+1)(2n-1)}{6}\]

    C) \[{{n}^{2}}+2n+6\]

    D) \[\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{6}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Here \[{{T}_{n}}=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\] Therefore\[{{S}_{n}}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{ \Sigma {{n}^{2}}+\Sigma n \right\}\]\[=\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{6}\].
