Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Passage

Let Vr denotes the sum of the first r terms of an arithmetic progression (AP) whose first term is r and the common difference is (2r1). Let Tr=Vr+1Vr and Qr=Tr+1Tr for r=1,2,

12.

The sum V1+V2++Vn is

(a) 112n(n+1)(3n2n+1)

(b) 112n(n+1)(3n2+n+2)

(c) 12n(2n2n+1)

(d) 13(2n32n+3)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 12. (b)

Solution:

  1. Here, Vr=r2[2r+(r1)(2r1)]=12(2r3r2+r)

ΣVr=12[2Σr3Σr2+Σr]

=122[n(n+1)22]n(n+1)(2n+1)6+n(n+1)2

n(n+1)12[3n(n+1)(2n+1)+3]

=112n(n+1)(3n2+n+2)
