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 nth term of the series \[\frac{2}{1!}+\frac{7}{2\,!}+\frac{15}{3\,!}+\frac{26}{4\,!}+.....\] is

    A) \[\frac{n\,(3n-1)}{2(n)\,!}\]

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

    C) \[\frac{n}{2}\frac{3n}{(n)\,!}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The series is \[\frac{2}{1!}+\frac{(2+5)}{2!}+\frac{\left( 2+5+8 \right)}{3!}+\frac{(2+5+8+11)}{4!}+....\] Hence \[{{T}_{n}}=\frac{(2+5+8+......n\,\text{terms})}{n!}=\frac{\frac{n}{2}[2.2+(n-1)3]}{n!}\] \[{{T}_{n}}=\frac{n\,(3n+1)}{2(n)!}\].
