MCQ
If $\text{A}_{\text{r}}=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{r}&2^{\text{r}}\\2&\text{n}&\text{n}^{2}\\\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}&2^{\text{n}+1} \end{vmatrix},$ then the value of $\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}\text{A}_\text{r}$ is:
  • A
    $n$
  • B
    $2n$
  • $-2n^3$
  • D
    $n^2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-2n^3$
$\text{A}_\text{r}=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{r}&2^{\text{r}}\\2&\text{n}&\text{n}^{2}\\\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}&2^{\text{n}+1} \end{vmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}\text{A}_\text{r}=\begin{vmatrix}\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}1&\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}\text{r}&\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}2\text{r}\\\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}2&\text{n}&\text{n}^{2}\\\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}&2^{\text{n}+1} \end{vmatrix}$
As $\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{r}1=1+1+1\ ......+1(n$ times$)=\text{n}$
$\Rightarrow\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{r}\text{r}=1+2+3+\ .....+\text{n}=\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}$
Let $\text{S}=\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{r}2^\text{r}=2+2^2+2^3=\ .....+2^{\text{n}}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{S}=2^2+3^2=\ ....+2^{\text{n}}+2^{\text{n}+1}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{S}-\text{S}$
$\Rightarrow\text{S}=\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}2^{\text{r}}=2^{\text{n+1}}-2$
$\Rightarrow\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}\text{A}_\text{r}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}&2^{\text{n}+1}-2\\2\text{n}&\text{n}&\text{n}^{2}\\\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}&2^{\text{n}+1} \end{vmatrix}$
$[$Applying $R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - R_2]$
$\Rightarrow\sum\limits_{\text{r}=1}^\text{n}\text{A}_\text{r}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{n}-\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}-\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}&2^{\text{n}+1}-2-2^{\text{n}+1}\\2\text{n}&\text{n}&\text{n}^{2}\\\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}&2^{\text{n}+1} \end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}0&0&-2\\2\text{n}&\text{n}&\text{n}^{2}\\\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}&2^{\text{n}+1} \end{vmatrix}$
$=-2\times\begin{vmatrix}2\text{n}&\text{n}\\\text{n}&\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}\end{vmatrix}$
$=-2\big[\text{n}^{3}+\text{n}^2-\text{n}^2\big]$
$=-2\text{n}^3$
