Options
- A2 + 1 3 10
- B1 + 1 11 3 10
- C2 - 1 11 3 10
- D1 - 1 11 3 10
Correct answer
D. 1 - 1 11 3 10
Step-by-step solution
T n = 2 n + 3 n n + 1 3 n 2 n + 3 n n + 1 = A n + B n + 1 ⇒ A = 3 ,   B = - 1 T n = 3 n - 1 n + 1 1 3 n = 1 n ⋅ 3 n - 1 - 1 n + 1 3 n = f n - f n + 1 where, f n = 1 n ⋅ 3 n - 1 ⇒ S n = T 1 + T 2 + . . . . . . + T n S 10 = T 1 + T 2 + . . . . . . + T 10 = f 1 - f 2 + f 2 - f 3 + . . . . . . + f 10 - f 11 S 10 = f 1 - f 11 = 1 1 ⋅ 3 0 - 1 11 ⋅ 3 10 = 1 - 1 11 ⋅ 3 10
