Correct answer

D. 81008100

Step-by-step solution

Given:

f(1)+2f(2)+3f(3)+…+xf(x)=x(x+1)f(x)f\left(1\right) + 2f\left(2\right) + 3f\left(3\right) + \ldots + xf\left(x\right) = x\left(x + 1\right)f\left(x\right)

⇒f(1)+2f(2)+3f(3)+…+(x−1)f(x−1)=x(x−1)f(x−1)⇒ f\left(1\right) + 2f\left(2\right) + 3f\left(3\right) + \ldots + \left(x - 1\right)f\left(x - 1\right) = x\left(x - 1\right)f\left(x - 1\right)

Now when x=2x = 2, then

f(1)+2f(2)=6f(2)f\left(1\right) + 2f\left(2\right) = 6f\left(2\right)

⇒1=4f(2)⇒ 1 = 4f\left(2\right)

⇒f(2)=14⇒ f\left(2\right) = \dfrac{1}{4}

When x=3x = 3,

f(1)+2f(2)=9f(3)⇒f(3)=16f\left(1\right) + 2f\left(2\right) = 9f\left(3\right) ⇒ f\left(3\right) = \dfrac{1}{6}

When x=4x = 4, f(1)+2f(2)+3f(3)=16f(4)⇒f(4)=18f\left(1\right) + 2f\left(2\right) + 3f\left(3\right) = 16f\left(4\right) ⇒ f\left(4\right) = \dfrac{1}{8}

So,

f(x)=12xf\left(x\right) = \dfrac{1}{2x}

Hence,

1f(2022)+1f(2028)=4044+4056=8100\dfrac{1}{f\left(2022\right)} + \dfrac{1}{f\left(2028\right)} = 4044 + 4056 = 8100
