  2. B71307130
  3. C69826982
  4. D81248124

Correct answer

A. 72407240

Step-by-step solution

Given sum is
Sn=1+3+11+25+45+71+…+TnS_n=1+3+11+25+45+71+\ldots+T_n
First order differences are in A.P.
Thus, we can assume that
Tn=an2+bn+c\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{n}}=\mathrm{an}^2+\mathrm{bn}+\mathrm{c}
Solving \left\{T1=1=a+b+cT2=3=4a+2b+cT3=11=9a+3b+c\begin{array}{c}T_1=1=a+b+c \\ T_2=3=4 a+2 b+c \\ T_3=11=9 a+3 b+c\end{array},
we get \mathrm{a}=3, \mathrm{~b}=-7, \mathrm{c}=5<br/>Hence,generaltermofgivenseriesis<br/><br/>Hence, general term of given series is<br/>\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{n}}=3\mathrm{n}^2-7\mathrm{n}+55
Hence, required sum equals
\sum_{\mathrm{n}=1}^{\mathrm{n}=20}\left(3 \mathrm{n}^2-7n\mathrm{n}+5\right)=3 \left(\frac{20 \cdot 21 \cdot 41}{6}\right)−7(20⋅212)-7 \left(\frac{20 \cdot 21}{2}\right)+5(20)=7240
