    The sum of the first \[n\]terms of \[\frac{{{1}^{2}}}{1}+\frac{{{1}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}}{1+2}+\frac{{{1}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}+{{3}^{2}}}{1+2+3}+....\]is

    A)  \[\frac{{{n}^{2}}-2n}{3}\]                            

    B) \[\frac{2{{n}^{2}}+n}{3}\]a

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

    D)  \[\frac{2{{n}^{2}}-n}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given series, \[\frac{{{1}^{2}}}{1}+\frac{{{1}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}}{1+2}+\frac{{{1}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}+{{3}^{2}}}{1+2+3}+....\] The nth terms of the series is \[{{T}_{n}}=\frac{\sum{{{n}^{2}}}}{\sum{n}}=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{\frac{6n(n+1)}{2}}=\frac{(2n+1)}{3}\] Now, \[{{S}_{n}}=\frac{1}{3}(2\sum{n}+\sum{1})\] \[=\frac{1}{3}\left\{ 2.\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+n \right\}=\frac{n}{3}(n+1+1)\] \[=\frac{n(n+2)}{3}\]
