Solution

The correct option is A

n(n+1)24(3n2n2)


(a+b)2=(a2+b2)+2(ab)=a2+2ab(a+b+c)2=(a2+b2+c2)+2(ab+bc+cd)=a2+2abIn general,(a1+a2++an)2=(a21+a22++a2n)+2(a1a2+a1a3++an1an)=a21+2a1a2(1+2+3++n)2=(12+22+32++n2)+2(sum of products of n integers taken two at a time)
i.e. (n)2=n2+2S; where S is the required sum
S=12[(n)2(n2)]=12[{n(n+1)2}2{n(n+1)(2n+1)6}]=n(n+1)24(3n2n2)
