Let S _ K = (1 + 2 + . . . + K)/(K) and ∑ _ j = 1 ^ n S ^ 2 j =...

Let SK=1+2+...+KKand{S}_{K} = \dfrac{1 + 2 + . . . + K}{K} and\mathop{∑}_{j = 1}^{n}{S}^{2}j = \dfrac{n}{A}(Bn2+Cn+D)\left(B{n}^{2} + Cn + D\right) where A,B,C,D∈NA, B, C, D \in N and AA Has least value then

Options

  1. AA+C+DA + C + D is not divisible by DD
  2. BA+B=5(D−C)A + B = 5 ( D - C )
  3. CA+B+C+DA + B + C + D is divisible by 55
  4. DA+BA + B is divisible by DD

Correct answer

D. A+BA + B is divisible by DD

Step-by-step solution

Given that SK=1+2+...+KK{S}_{K} = \dfrac{1 + 2 + . . . + K}{K}

We know that 1+2+3....+n=n(n+1)21 + 2 + 3 . . . . + n = \dfrac{n\left(n + 1\right)}{2}

⇒SK=K(K+1)2K=K+12⇒ {S}_{K} = \dfrac{K\left(K + 1\right)}{2K} = \dfrac{K + 1}{2}

Now,

∑j=1n(Sj)2=∑j=1n14(22+32+42...(n+1)2)\mathop{∑}_{j = 1}^{n}{\left({S}_{j}\right)}^{2} = \mathop{∑}_{j = 1}^{n}\dfrac{1}{4}\left({2}^{2} + {3}^{2} + {4}^{2} . . . {\left(n + 1\right)}^{2}\right)

=∑j=1n14(12+22+32+42...(n+1)2−12)= \mathop{∑}_{j = 1}^{n}\dfrac{1}{4}\left({1}^{2} + {2}^{2} + {3}^{2} + {4}^{2} . . . {\left(n + 1\right)}^{2} - {1}^{2}\right)

⇒14((n+1)(n+2)(2n+3)6−1)⇒ \dfrac{1}{4}\left(\dfrac{\left(n + 1\right)\left(n + 2\right)\left(2n + 3\right)}{6} - 1\right)

=14((n2+3n+2)(2n+3)−66)= \dfrac{1}{4}\left(\dfrac{\left({n}^{2} + 3n + 2\right)\left(2n + 3\right) - 6}{6}\right)

=14(2n3+6n2+4n+3n2+9n+6−66)= \dfrac{1}{4}\left(\dfrac{2{n}^{3} + 6{n}^{2} + 4n + 3{n}^{2} + 9n + 6 - 6}{6}\right)

=14(2n3+9n2+13n6)= \dfrac{1}{4}\left(\dfrac{2{n}^{3} + 9{n}^{2} + 13n}{6}\right)

=n24(2n2+9n+13)= \dfrac{n}{24}\left(2{n}^{2} + 9n + 13\right)

On comparing this with ∑j=1nS2j=nA(Bn2+Cn+D)\mathop{∑}_{j = 1}^{n}{S}^{2}j = \dfrac{n}{A}\left(B{n}^{2} + Cn + D\right) we get,

A=24,B=2,C=9,D=13A = 24, B = 2, C = 9, D = 13

⇒A+BD=2613=2⇒ \dfrac{A + B}{D} = \dfrac{26}{13} = 2

That means, A+BA + B is divisible by DD.

Hence this is the correct option.
