Q57 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let an=∫-1n1+x2+x23+…+xn-1ndx for every n∈N. Then the sum of all the elements of the set n∈N:an∈2,30 is _________.

Correct answer: 5

Solution

Given an=∫-1n1+x2+x23+….+xn-1ndx

=x+x222+x332+……+xnn2-1n

i.e. an=n+112+n2-122+n3+132+n4-142+…+nn+-1n+1n2

Here a1=2, a2=2+11+22-12=92,

a3=4+2+289=1009,

a4=5+154+659+25516>31.

∵ an∈2,30, so the required set is 2,3.

∴  sum of all elements =5.

Hence, the correct answer is 5.
