Q35 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (09 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics

The sum of the series 1+2×3+3×5+4×7+… upto 11th term is:

  • A
    945
  • B
    916
  • Correct answer
    C
    946
  • D
    915

Solution

Given series is 1+2×3+3×5+4×7+5×9+…

Thus, the general term is Tr=r2r-1

Hence, the sum of 11 terms of the series is S11=∑r=111r2r-1

⇒S11=2∑r2-∑r

Using the formulae for ∑r2r=1n=nn+12n+16 and ∑rr=1n=nn+12, we get

S11=2⋅1111+122+16-1111+12

⇒S11=44×23-66

⇒S11=1012-66=946.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
