    Let\[{{a}_{n}}={{i}^{{{(n+1)}^{2}}}},\]where\[i=\sqrt{-1}\]and\[n=1,2,3.....\]. Then the value of\[{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{3}}+{{a}_{5}}+...+{{a}_{25}}\]is

    A)  13                                         

    B)  \[13+i\]

    C)  \[13-i\]               

    D)         12

    E)  \[12-i\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, \[{{a}_{n}}={{i}^{{{(n+1)}^{2}}}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{a}_{1}}={{i}^{{{2}^{2}}}}=1,{{a}_{2}}={{i}^{{{3}^{2}}}}=i,\]                 \[{{a}_{3}}={{i}^{{{4}^{2}}}}=1,{{a}_{4}}={{i}^{{{5}^{2}}}}=i,\]                 \[{{a}_{5}}={{i}^{{{6}^{2}}}}=1,..........\] \[\therefore \]For all odd values of n, we get the value of \[{{a}_{n}}\]is 1. \[\therefore \]  \[{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{3}}+{{a}_{5}}+....+{{a}_{25}}\]                 \[=\underbrace{1+1+1+......+1}_{13}\]                 \[=13\]
