Best answer

(i) 1.3 + 3.5 + 5.7 + …

nth term of the given series

Tn = (1 + 3 + 5 + … nth term)

(3 + 5 + 7 + … nth term)

= [1 + (n – 1)2 [3 +(n – 1)2]

= (1 + 2n – 2) (3 + 2n – 2)

= (2n – 1) (2n + 1)

∴ Sn = ∑ (4n2 – 1)

= 4∑n– ∑1

(ii) 1.2.4 + 2.3.7 + 3.4.10 + …

nth term of the given series

Tn = (1 + 2 + 3 + … nth term)

(2 + 3 + 4 + … nth term )

(4 + 7 + 10 + … nth term)

= n . (n + 1) . [4 + (n – 1)3]

= n(n + 1) (3n + 1)

= (n2 + n) (3n + 1)

= 3n3 + 3n2 + n2 + n

= 3n3 + 4n2 + n = n(n + 1) (3n + 1)

∴ Sn = ∑(3n3 + 4n2 + n)

= 3∑n3 + 4∑n2 + ∑M
