If gcdm, n=1 and 12-22+32-42+....+20212-20222+20232=1012m2n then m2-n2 is equal to

  1. 240
  2. 200
  3. 220
  4. 180

Solution

Let

S=12-22+32-42+....+20212-20222+20232

S=1-21+2+3-43+4+....+2021-20222021+2022+20232

S=-3+7+11+15+....+4043+20232

The number of terms in the bracket are 20222=1011S=-101126+1010×4+20232

S=-1011×2023+20232

S=2023×1012

S=172×7×1012

So,

m=17, n=7 and gcd17,7=1

Hence, m2-n2=172-72=240

Hence this is the correct option.
