The sum of the series 11312+14+21322+24+31332+34+.... up to 10 terms is
  1. 45109
  2. -45109
  3. 55109
  4. -55109

Solution

General term of the given series is given by,

Tn=n1-3n2+n4

Tn=nn4-2n2+1-n2

Tn=nn2-12-n2

Tn=nn2-1-nn2-1+n

Tn=12n2-1+n-n2-1-nn2-1-nn2-1+n

Tn=121n2-1-n-1n2-1+n

n=110Tn=121-1-11+11-15+15-111+...+189-1109

n=110Tn=12-1-1109

n=110Tn=-55109
