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

The sum of the series 1+2×3+3×5+4×7+ upto 11th term is:
  1. 945
  2. 916
  3. 946
  4. 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=2r2-r

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

S11=21111+122+16-1111+12

S11=44×23-66

S11=1012-66=946.
