    Find the sum to n terms of the series whose nth term is \[{{n}^{2}}-2\text{ }n\].        

    A)  \[2n\,(n-1)\]         

    B)  \[2n(n+1)\]

    C)  \[2{{n}^{2}}(n+1)\]

    D)  \[2{{n}^{2}}(n-1)\]

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Given, nth term of a series is \[{{T}_{n}}={{n}^{2}}-2n\] \[Sum=\Sigma {{T}_{n}}=\Sigma ({{n}^{2}}-2n)\] \[=\Sigma {{n}^{2}}-2\Sigma n\] \[=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}-\frac{2n(n+1)}{2}\] \[=n(n+1)\left[ \frac{(2n+1)}{6}-1 \right]\] \[=n(n+1)\left[ \frac{2n+1-6}{6} \right]\] \[=\frac{n(n+1)(2n-5)}{6}\]
