    If the sum of the series \[{{\text{1}}^{\text{2}}}+\text{2}.{{\text{2}}^{\text{2}}}+{{\text{3}}^{\text{2}}}+\text{2}.{{\text{4}}^{\text{2}}}+{{\text{5}}^{\text{2}}}+\]\[~...\text{ 2}.{{\text{6}}^{\text{2}}}+...\] upto n terms, when n is even, is\[\frac{n{{\left( n+1 \right)}^{2}}}{2},\]then the sum of the series, when n is odd, is  ,   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 26-May-2012)      

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

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

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

    D)                        \[{{n}^{2}}(n-1)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    If n is odd, the required sum is \[{{1}^{2}}+{{2.2}^{2}}+{{3}^{2}}+{{2.4}^{2}}+....+2{{(n-1)}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{\left( n-1 \right){{\left( n-1+1 \right)}^{2}}}{2}+{{n}^{2}}\left( \because n-1\,\text{is}\,\text{even} \right)\] \[=\left( \frac{n-1}{2}+1 \right){{n}^{2}}=\frac{{{n}^{2}}(n+1)}{2}\]
