Q.

The sum to 20 terms of the series 2·22-32+2·42-52+2·62-.......... is equal to _______ .              [2023]


Ans.

(1310)

Let S=2·22-32+2·42-52+2·62+ 

=(2·22+2·42+2·62+10 terms)-(32+52+72++10 terms) 

=8(12+22+32++10 terms)-(12+32+52+72++11 terms)+1 

=8[10×11×216]-113[23×21]+1 

= 3080-1771+1=1310
