Solution
The correct option is B(n(n+1)2)2−n 1(2−ω)(2−ω2)+2(3−ω)(3−ω2)+⋯⋯+(n−1)(n−ω)(n−ω2) kth term of the expression is tk=(k−1)(k−ω)(k−ω2) Sn=n∑k=2(k−1)(k−ω)(k−ω2)
=n∑k=2(k−1)(k2+k+1)=n∑k=2(k3−1)
=(23+33+⋯.+n3)−(n−1)
=(n(n+1)2)2−n
Alternate solution
Putting value of n=2 1(2−ω)(2−ω2)=4−2ω−2ω2+ω3=7
Now putting value of n in option and checking which one satisfies
So we get (n(n+1)2)2−n
