Let A be the sum of the first 20 terms and B be the sum of the first 40 terms of the series 

12+2·22+32+2·42+52+2·62+

If B-2A=100λ, then λ is equal to :

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Given series, 12+2·22+32+2·42+52+2·62+ 

Here, A=12+2·22+32+2·42+...20 terms

=12+ 22+32+42+...20 terms+22+42+ 62+...10 terms

=20·21·416 +410·11·216 

A=4410

Similarly for B=12+22+33+...40 terms+22+42+62+...20 terms

B=40×41×816+4×20×21×416

B=33620

Now, B-2A=24800=100λ (Given)

λ=248
