JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Sequence & Series Question Bank nth term of special series, Sum to n terms and Infinite number of terms

  • question_answer
    The sum to \[n\] terms of the infinite series \[{{1.3}^{2}}+{{2.5}^{2}}+{{3.7}^{2}}+..........\infty \] is [AMU 1982]

    A) \[\frac{n}{6}(n+1)(6{{n}^{2}}+14n+7)\]

    B) \[\frac{n}{6}(n+1)(2n+1)(3n+1)\]

    C) \[4{{n}^{3}}+4{{n}^{2}}+n\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    This is an A.G. series whose \[{{n}^{th}}\] term is equal to \[{{T}_{n}}=n{{(2n+1)}^{2}}=4{{n}^{3}}+4{{n}^{2}}+n\] \[\therefore \] \[{{S}_{n}}=\sum\limits_{1}^{n}{{{T}_{n}}}=\sum\limits_{1}^{n}{(4{{n}^{3}}+4{{n}^{2}}+n)}\]           \[=4\sum\limits_{1}^{n}{{{n}^{3}}}+4\sum\limits_{1}^{n}{{{n}^{2}}}+\sum\limits_{1}^{n}{n}\]           \[=4{{\left\{ \frac{n}{2}(n+1) \right\}}^{2}}+\frac{4}{6}n(n+1)(2n+1)+\frac{n}{2}(n+1)\]           \[=\frac{n}{6}(n+1)(6{{n}^{2}}+14n+7)\].
