Q49 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (31 Jan Shift 2) · Mathematics

The sum 12-2.32+3.52-4.72+5.92-…..+15.292 is _____ .

Correct answer: 6952

Solution

Given,

S=12-2·32+3·52............+15·292

Now rewriting the above expression we get,

S=12+2·32+3·52............+15·292⏟S1-22·32+4·72............+14·272⏟S2

Now solving S1=12+2·32+3·52............+15·292

⇒S1=∑r=115r·2r-12

⇒S1=∑r=115r·4r2+1-4r

⇒S1=∑r=1154r3+r-4r2

⇒S1=4∑r=115r3+∑r=115r-4∑r=115r2
⇒S1=415×1622+15×162-415×16×316

⇒S1=41202+120-4960

⇒S1=52760

Now solving S2=2·32+4·72............+14·272

⇒S2=∑r=172r4r-12

⇒S2=∑r=172r16r2+1-8r

⇒S2=32∑r=17r3+2∑r=17r-16∑r=17r2

⇒S2=327×822+27×82-167×8×156

⇒S2=32×784+56-16×140=22904

Hence, S=S1-2S2=52760-2×22904=6952

Hence, the correct answer is 6952.
