Answer

Column I Column II
(a) $1^2+2^2+3^2+....+\text{n}^2$ (iii) $\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}+1)}{6}$
(b) $1^3+2^3+3^3+....\text{n}^3$ (i) $\Big[\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}\Big]^2$
(c) $2+4+6+....+2\text{n}$ (ii) $\text{n}(\text{n}+1)$
(d) $1+2+3+....\text{n}$ (iv) $\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}$
Solution:
  1. Let $\text{S}=1^2+2^2+3^2+....+\text{n}^2$
We have, $\text{n}^3-(\text{n}-1)^3=3\text{n}^2-3\text{n}+1;$ And by changing n into n - 1, $(\text{n}-1)^3-(\text{n}-2)^3=3(\text{n}-1)^2-3(\text{n}-1)+1;$ $(\text{n}-2)^2-(\text{n}-3)^3=3(\text{n}-2)^2-3(\text{n}-2)+1;$ $..........\\..........\\..........$ $3^3-2^3=3.3^2-3.3+1;$ $2^3-1^2=3.2^2-3.2+1;$ $1^2-0^2=3.1^2-3.1+1$ Hence, by addition, $\text{n}^3=3(1^2+2^2+3^2+....+\text{n}^2)-3(1+2+3+....+\text{n})+\text{n}$ $=3\text{s}-\frac{3\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}+\text{n}$ $\Rightarrow3\text{S}=\text{n}^3-\text{n}+\frac{3\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}=\text{n}(\text{n}+1)\Big(\text{n}-1+\frac{3}{2}\Big)$ $\Rightarrow\text{S}=\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}+1)}{6}$
  1. Let $\text{S}=1^3+2^3+3^3+.....+\text{n}^3$
We have, $\text{n}^4-(\text{n}-1)^4=4\text{n}^3-6\text{n}^2+4\text{n}-1;$ $(\text{n}-1)^4-(\text{n}-2)^4=4(\text{n}-1)^3-6(\text{n}-1)^2+4(\text{n}-1)-1;$ $(\text{n}-2)^4-(\text{n}-3)^4=4(\text{n}-2)^3-6(\text{n}-2)^2+4(\text{n}-2)-1;$ $..........\\..........\\..........$ $3^4-2^4=4.3^3-6.3^2+4.3-1;$ $2^4-1^4=4.2^3-6.2^2+4.2-1;$ $1^4-0^4=4.1^3-6.1^2+4.1-1.$ Hence, by addition, $\text{n}^4=4\text{S}-6\big(1^2+2^2+....+\text{n}^2\big)+4(1+2+....+\text{n})-\text{n};$ $\therefore\ 4\text{S}=\text{n}^4+\text{n}+6\big(1^2+2^2+....+\text{n}^2\big)-4(1+2+....+\text{n})$ $=\text{n}^4+\text{n}+\text{n}(\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}+1)-2\text{n}(\text{n}+1)$ $=\text{n}({\text{n}+1})\big(\text{n}^2-\text{n}+1+2\text{n}+1-2\big)$ $=\text{n}(\text{n}+1)\big(\text{n}^2+\text{n}\big)$ $\therefore\ \text{S}=\frac{\text{n}^2(\text{n}+1)^2}{4}=\Big\{\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}\Big\}^2$
  1. $1+2+3+....+\text{n}=\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+2)}{2}$
$2+4+6+....+2\text{n}=2(1+2+3+....+\text{n})$ $=2\times\frac{\text{n}}{2}(1+\text{n})=\text{n}(\text{n}+1)$
  1. 1 + 2 + 3 + .... + n = Sum of n terms of A.P. with first term '1' and common difference $'1'=\frac{\text{n}}{2}(1+\text{n})$
