Correct answer
B. 85
Step-by-step solution
2 2020 + 1 2 2018 + 1 = 4 . 2 2018 + 1 2 2018 + 1 = 4 2 2018 + 1 - 3 2 2018 + 1 4 - 3 2 2018 + 1 = t ,   3 < t < 4 Now 2 2020 + 1 2 2018 + 1 = 3 similarly 3 2020 + 1 3 2018 + 1 = 9 . 3 2018 + 1 3 2018 + 1 = 9 - 8 3 2018 + 1 3 2020 + 1 3 2018 + 1 = 8 similarly n 2020 + 1 2 2018 + 1 = n 2 - 1 2 2 - 1 + 3 2 - 1 + 4 2 - 1 + 5 2 - 1 + 6 2 - 1 = 3 + 8 + 15 + 24 + 35 = 85
