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 of the series \[{{1}^{2}}.2+{{2}^{2}}.3+{{3}^{2}}.4+........\] to n terms is

    A)   \[\frac{{{n}^{3}}{{(n+1)}^{3}}(2n+1)}{24}\]

    B)   \[\frac{n(n+1)(3{{n}^{2}}+7n+2)}{12}\]

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

    D) \[\frac{n(n+1)}{12}[6n(n+1)+2(2n+1)]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{T}_{n}}={{n}^{2}}(n+1)={{n}^{3}}+{{n}^{2}}\] \[{{S}_{n}}=\Sigma {{T}_{n}}=\Sigma {{n}^{3}}+\Sigma {{n}^{2}}\]\[={{\left[ \frac{n\,(n+1)}{2} \right]}^{2}}+\frac{n\,(n+1)\,(2n+1)}{6}\] \[=\frac{n\,(n+1)}{2}\left[ \frac{n\,(n+1)}{2}+\frac{2n+1}{3} \right]\]\[=\frac{n\,(n+1)(3{{n}^{2}}+7n+2)}{12}\].
