Options:

A) $ n^{3}+n^{2}+n+2 $

B) $ \frac{1}{6}(2n^{3}+12n^{2}+10,n-84) $

C) $ n^{3}+n^{2}+n $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ S=3.6+4.7+….. $ up to $ n-2 $ terms $ =(1.4+2.5+3.6+4.7+………uptonterms)-14 $ $ =\Sigma n,(n+3)-14=\frac{1}{6}(2n^{3}+12n^{2}+10n)-14 $ $ =( \frac{2n^{3}+12n^{2}+10n-84}{6} ), $ where $ n=3,4,5…… $
