Correct answer

A. 330330

Step-by-step solution

Given, f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+xy∀x,y∈Rf\left(x + y\right) = f\left(x\right) + f\left(y\right) + xy \forall x, y \in R

Put y=1y = 1, we get

⇒f(x+1)=f(x)+f(1)+x⇒ f\left(x + 1\right) = f\left(x\right) + f\left(1\right) + x

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

On taking Sigma on both sides

⇒∑x=1n−1(f(x+1)−f(x))=∑x=1n−1(3+x)⇒ \mathop{∑}_{x = 1}^{n - 1}\left(f\left(x + 1\right) - f\left(x\right)\right) = \mathop{∑}_{x = 1}^{n - 1}\left(3 + x\right)

⇒(f(2)−f(1))+(f(3)−f(2))+(f(4)−f(3))+(f(5)−f(4))+......+(f(n)−f(n−1))⇒ \left(f\left(2\right) - f\left(1\right)\right) + \left(f\left(3\right) - f\left(2\right)\right) + \left(f\left(4\right) - f\left(3\right)\right) + \left(f\left(5\right) - f\left(4\right)\right) + . . . . . . + \left(f\left(n\right) - f\left(n - 1\right)\right)

=3(n−1)+(n−1)n2= 3\left(n - 1\right) + \dfrac{\left(n - 1\right)n}{2}

⇒f(n)−f(1)=3(n−1)+(n−1)n2⇒ f\left(n\right) - f\left(1\right) = 3\left(n - 1\right) + \dfrac{\left(n - 1\right)n}{2}

⇒f(n)−3=3(n−1)+(n−1)n2⇒ f\left(n\right) - 3 = 3\left(n - 1\right) + \dfrac{\left(n - 1\right)n}{2}

⇒f(n)=n22+5n2⇒ f\left(n\right) = \dfrac{{n}^{2}}{2} + \dfrac{5n}{2}

Again taking Sigma on both the sides

⇒∑n=110f(n)=∑n=110(n22+5n2)⇒ \mathop{∑}_{n = 1}^{10}f\left(n\right) = \mathop{∑}_{n = 1}^{10}\left(\dfrac{{n}^{2}}{2} + \dfrac{5n}{2}\right)

⇒∑n=110f(n)=12.10.11.216+52.10.112⇒ \mathop{∑}_{n = 1}^{10}f\left(n\right) = \dfrac{1}{2} . \dfrac{10 . 11 . 21}{6} + \dfrac{5}{2} . \dfrac{10 . 11}{2}

⇒∑n=110f(n)=330⇒ \mathop{∑}_{n = 1}^{10}f\left(n\right) = 330.
