Find the sum of the series 1.2 + 2.22 + 3.23 + … + 100. 2100. (a) 100.2101 + 2 (b) 99.2100 + 2 (c) 99.2101 + 2 (d) None of these |

Answer» Correct option (c) 99.2101 + 2 Explanation: Solve this based on pattern of the options. The given series has 100 terms. For n = 100, the options can be converted as Option (a) = n × 2(n + 1) + 2. This means that for 1 term, the sum should be 1 × 22 + 2 = 6. But we can see that for 1 term, the series has a sum of only 1 × 2 = 2. Hence, this option can be rejected. Option (c) satisfies the conditions. Option (b) = (n − 1) × 2n + 2. For 1 term, this gives us a value of 2. For 2 terms, this gives us a value of 6, which does not match the actual value in the question.Hence, this option can be rejected. |
