Let S K = 1 + 2 + . . . + K K and ∑ j = 1 n S 2 j = n A B n 2 + C n + D where A ,   B ,   C …

Let SK=1+2+...+KK and j=1nS2j=nABn2+Cn+D where A, B, C, D  N and A Has least value then
  1. A+C+D is not divisible by D
  2. A+B=5(D-C)
  3. A+B+C+D is divisible by 5
  4. A+B is divisible by D

Solution

Given that SK=1+2+...+KK

We know that 1+2+3....+n=nn+12

SK=KK+12K=K+12

Now,

j=1nSj2=j=1n1422+32+42...n+12

=j=1n1412+22+32+42...n+12-12

14n+1n+22n+36-1

=14n2+3n+22n+3-66

=142n3+6n2+4n+3n2+9n+6-66

=142n3+9n2+13n6

=n242n2+9n+13

On comparing this with j=1nS2j=nABn2+Cn+D we get,

A=24, B=2, C=9, D=13

A+BD=2613=2

That means, A+B is divisible by D.

Hence this is the correct option.
