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 \[n\] terms of the series whose \[{{n}^{hth}}\] term is \[n(n+1)\] is equal to

    A)   \[\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{3}\]

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

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

    D) \[n(n+1)(n+2)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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