    The value of the expression \[1\cdot (2-\omega )(2-{{\omega }^{2}})+2\cdot (3-\omega )(3-{{\omega }^{2}})+...\] \[+(n-1)(n-\omega )(n-{{\omega }^{2}})\], where \[\omega \] is an imaginary cube root of unity, is

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}(n-1)n({{n}^{2}}+3n+4)\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{4}(n-1)n({{n}^{2}}+3n+4)\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{2}(n+1)n({{n}^{2}}+3n+4)\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{4}(n+1)n({{n}^{2}}+3n+4)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{r}^{th}}\]term of the given series \[=r[(r+1)-\omega ][(r+1)-{{\omega }^{2}}]\] \[=r[{{(r+1)}^{2}}-(\omega +{{\omega }^{2}})(r+1)+{{\omega }^{3}}]\] \[=r[{{(r+1)}^{2}}-(-1)(r+1)+1]\] \[=r[{{r}^{2}}+3r+3]={{r}^{3}}+3{{r}^{2}}+3r\] Thus, sum of the given series                 \[=\sum\limits_{r=1}^{(n-1)}{({{r}^{3}}+3{{r}^{2}}+3r)}\] \[=\frac{1}{4}{{(n-1)}^{2}}{{n}^{2}}+3\cdot \frac{1}{6}(n-1)n(2n-1)+3\cdot \frac{1}{2}(n-1)n\]\[=\frac{1}{4}(n-1)n({{n}^{2}}+3n+4)\]
