[Kurukshetra CEE 1998]

Options:

A) $ n(n+1)(n+2) $

B) $ (n+1)(n+2)(n+3) $

C) $ \frac{1}{4}n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3) $

D) $ \frac{1}{4}(n+1)(n+2)(n+3) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ T_{n}=n,(n+1),(n+2) $ $ =n,(n^{2}+3n+2)=n^{3}+3n^{2}+2n $
$ \therefore $ $ S_{n}=\Sigma (n^{3})+\Sigma (3n^{2})+\Sigma (2n) $ $ S_{n}={{[ \frac{n,(n+1)}{2} ]}^{2}}+\frac{3.n,(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}+\frac{2.n,(n+1)}{2} $ $ S_{n}=\frac{1}{4}n,(n+1),(n+2)(n+3) $ .
