    \[1+\frac{{{2}^{3}}}{2}+\frac{{{3}^{3}}}{3}+\frac{{{4}^{3}}}{3}+......\infty \].Is equal to

    A) 3e                    

    B) 5e            

    C) 6e                                

    D) 7e

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]  \[\because 1+\frac{{{2}^{3}}}{2}+\frac{{{3}^{3}}}{3}+\frac{{{4}^{3}}}{4}+..........to\,\,\infty \] \[\therefore {{t}_{n}}=\frac{{{n}^{3}}}{n}=\frac{n.{{n}^{2}}}{n\,\,n-1}=\frac{{{n}^{2}}}{n-1}\] \[=\frac{{{n}^{2}}+1-1}{n-1}=\frac{{{n}^{2}}-1}{n-1}+\frac{1}{n-1}=\frac{\left( n+1 \right)\left( n-1 \right)}{n-1}+\frac{1}{n-1}\] \[=\frac{n+1}{n-1}+\frac{1}{n-1}=\frac{n-2+2+1}{n-1}+\frac{1}{n-1}=\frac{1}{n-3}+\frac{3}{n-2}+\frac{1}{n-1}\] \[\therefore {{S}_{n}}=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }{{{t}_{n}}}=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }{\left[ \frac{1}{n-3}+\frac{3}{n-2}+\frac{1}{n-1} \right]}\] \[=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac{1}{n-3}}+\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac{1}{n-2}+\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac{1}{n-1}}}\] \[0=e+3e+e=5e\] Hence, the option [b]   is correct.
