Question
If total number of runs scored in n matches is (n+14)(2n+1−n−2) where n>1, and the runs scored in the kth match are given by k.2n+1−k, where 1≤k≤n. Find n

Solution
Sn=∑nk=1k.2n+1−k=2n+1∑nk=1k.2−k =2n+1[12(1−12n)1−12]11−12=22n+2[1−12n−n2n+1]=2n+2−4−2n=2(2n+1−2−n) so, Sn=n+14(2n+1−2−n) (as given) So, n+14(2n+1−2−n)=2(2n−1−n−2) n+1=8,n=7
