Question 11 Mark
If $\text{S}_\text{n}=\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{r}=1}\frac{1+2+2^2+\ ...\text{ Sum to r terms}}{2^{\text{r}}},$ then Sn is equal to:
  1. $2^{\text{n}}-\text{n}-1$
  2. $1-\frac{1}{2^{\text{n}}}$
  3. $\text{n}-1-\frac{1}{2^{\text{n}}}$
  4. ${2^{\text{n}}}-1$
Answer
  1. $\text{n}-1-\frac{1}{2^{\text{n}}}$

Solution:

We have,

$\text{S}_\text{n}=\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{r}=1}\frac{1+2+2^2+\ ...\text{ Sum to r terms}}{2^{\text{r}}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{r}=1}\frac{1(2^{\text{r}}-1)}{2\text{r}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{r}=1}\Big(1-\frac{1}{2^{\text{r}}}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\text{n}-\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{r}=1}\Big(\frac{1}{2^{\text{r}}}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\text{n}-\Bigg[\frac{\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)\big\{1-\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)^\text{n}\big\}}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\Bigg]$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\text{n}-\Big[1-\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^\text{n}\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\text{n}-1+\frac{1}{2^\text{n}}$

Solution:

Let $\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{1}{\log_24}+\frac{1}{\log_44}+\frac{1}{\log_84}+\ ...\ +\frac{1}{\log_2{^\text{n}4}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\log2}{\log4}+\frac{\log4}{\log4}+\frac{\log8}{\log4}+\ ...\ +\frac{\log2^\text{n}}{\log4}$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\log2}{\log4}+\frac{\log2^2}{\log4}+\frac{\log2^3}{\log4}+\ ...\ +\frac{\log2^\text{n}}{\log4}$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\log2}{\log4}+\frac{2\log2}{\log4}+\frac{3\log2}{\log4}+\ ...\ +\frac{\text{n}\log2}{\log4}$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\log2}{\log4}(1+2+3+\ ...\ +\text{n})$

Let Tn be the nth term of the given series.

Thus, we have

$\text{S}_{10}=\sqrt{2}\sum\limits^{10}_{\text{k}=1}\Big(\sqrt{3^{(\text{k}-1)}}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{10}=\sqrt{2}\Big(1+\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3^2}+\ ...\ +\sqrt{3^9}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{10}=\sqrt{2}\bigg(\frac{\sqrt{3^{10}}-1}{\sqrt{3}-1}\bigg)$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{10\text{n}}=\sqrt{2}\Big(\frac{3^5-1}{\sqrt{3}-1}\Big)\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}+1}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{10}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\big(3^5-1\big)\big(\sqrt{3}+1\big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_{10}=\frac{1}{2}(242)\Big(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}\Big)$

Now,

Let Sn be the sum of n terms of the given series.

Thus, we have

$\text{S}_\text{n}=\sum^\limits\text{n}_{\text{k}=1}\text{T}_\text{k}$

$=\sum^\limits\text{n}_{\text{k}=1}\Big[1-\frac{1}{3^\text{k}}\Big]$

$=\sum^\limits\text{n}_{\text{k}=1}1-\sum^\limits\text{n}_{\text{k}=1}\frac{1}{3^\text{k}}$

$=\text{n}-\Big[\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{3^3}+\ ....\ +\frac{1}{3^\text{n}}\Big]$

  1. $\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}+1)}{2}$
  2. $\frac{\text{n}(2\text{n}-1)(2\text{n}+1)}{3}$
  3. $\frac{(\text{n}-1)^2(2\text{n}+1)}{6}$
  4. $\frac{(2\text{n}+1)^3}{3}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{\text{n}(2\text{n}-1)(2\text{n}+1)}{3}$

Solution:

Let Tn be the nth term of the given series.

Thus, we have

$\text{T}_\text{n}=(2\text{n}-1)^2$

$=4\text{n}^2+1-4\text{n}$

Now, let Sn be the sum of n terms of the given series.

Thus, we have

$\text{S}_\text{n}=\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_\text{k=1}(4\text{k}^2+1-4\text{k})$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=4\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_\text{k=1}\text{k}^2+\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_\text{k=1}1-4\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_\text{k=1}\text{k}$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{4\text{n}(\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}+1)}{6}+\text{n}-\frac{4\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{2\text{n}(\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}+1)}{3}+\text{n}-2\text{n}(\text{n}+1)$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\text{n}\Big[\frac{2(\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}+1)}{3}+1-2(\text{n}+1)\Big]$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{n}}{3}\big[(2\text{n}+2)(2\text{n}+1)+3-6(\text{n}+1)\big]$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{n}}{3}\big[(4\text{n}^2-1)\big]$

$\Rightarrow\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{n}(2\text{n}-1)(2\text{n}+1)}{3}$

Question 91 Mark
If $\sum\text{n}=210,$ then $\sum\text{n}^2=$
  1. 2870
  2. 2160
  3. 2970
  4. none of these.
Answer
  1. 2870

Solution:

Given,

$\sum\text{n}=210$

$\Rightarrow\text{n}\Big(\frac{\text{n}+1}{2}\Big)=210$

$\Rightarrow\text{n}^2+\text{n}-420=0$

$\Rightarrow(\text{n}-20)(\text{n}+21)=0$

$\Rightarrow\text{n}=20$ $(\because\ \text{n}>0)$

Now,

$\sum\text{n}^2=\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}+1)}{6}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}\times\frac{(2\text{n}+1)}{3}$

$\Rightarrow(210)\times\Big(\frac{41}{3}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow(70)\times(41)$

$\Rightarrow2870$

$=\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{k}=1}\bigg(\frac{\sqrt{2\text{k}+1}-\sqrt{2\text{k}-1}}{2}\bigg)$

$=\frac{1}{2}\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{k}=1}\big(\sqrt{2\text{k}+1}-\sqrt{2\text{k}-1}\big)$

$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\big(\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{1}\big)+\big(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}\big)+\big(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}\big)+\ ...\ +\big(\sqrt{2\text{n}+1}-\sqrt{2\text{n}-1}\big)\Big]$
