- B8000
- C8400
- D8100
Correct answer
D. 8100
Step-by-step solution
Given: f 1 + 2 f 2 + 3 f 3 + … + x f x = x x + 1 f x ⇒ f 1 + 2 f 2 + 3 f 3 + … + x - 1 f x - 1 = x x - 1 f x - 1 Now when x = 2 , then f 1 + 2 f 2 = 6 f 2 ⇒ 1 = 4 f 2 ⇒ f 2 = 1 4 When x = 3 , f 1 + 2 f 2 = 9 f 3 ⇒ f 3 = 1 6 When x = 4 , f 1 + 2 f 2 + 3 f 3 = 16 f 4 ⇒ f 4 = 1 8 So, f x = 1 2 x Hence, 1 f 2022 + 1 f 2028 = 4044 + 4056 = 8100
