72. Given that,

an = n(n + 1)(n + 4)

= n(n2 + 4n + n + 4)

=n(n2 + 5n + 4)

= x3 + 5x2 + 4x

So, sum of terms, Sn = n3+5n2+4n

=[n(n+1)2]2+5*n(n+1)(2n+1)6+4n?(n+1)2

=n(n+1)2[n(n+1)2+5(2n+1)3+4]

=n(n+1)2[3n(n+1)+2*5(2n+1)+6*46].

=n(n+1)2[3n2+3n+20n+10+246]

=n(n+1)2[3n2+23n+346]

=n(n+1)(3n2+23n+34)12

=n(n+1)12 (3n2+6n+17n+34)

=n(n+1)12[3n2+23n+34]

71. The given series is 12 + (12 + 22) + (12 + 22 + 32) + …

So, nth term well be

an =12 + 22 + 32 + … + n2.

=n(x+1)(2n+1)6

=n(2x2+n+2n+1)6

=n(2n2+3n+1)6

=2n3+3n2+n6

=x33+x22+x6

So, Sn = 13n3+12n2+16i=1nn

=13n2(n+1)24+12n(n+1)(2n+1)6+16·n(n+1)2

=n(x+1)6[n(x+1)2+(2n+1)2+12]

=n(n+1)6[n2+n+2n+1+12]

=n(n+1)12[n2+5n+2n+2]

=n(n+1)(n+1)(n+2)12

=n(n+1)2(n+2)12

70. The given series is 3 8 + 11 + 9 14 + …

So, an= (nth term of 3, 6, 9, …) (nth term of 8, 11, 14, …)

i e, a = 3, d = 6- 3 = 3i e, a= 8, d = 11- 8 = 3

= [3 + (n- 1) 3] [8 + (n -1) 3]

= [3 + 3n- 3] [8 + 3n -3]

= 3n (3n + 5)

= 9n2 + 15n.

So, Sn = 9∑n2 + 15∑ n.

=9*n (n+1) (2n+1)6+15*n (n+1)2

=32n (n+1) (2n+1)+152n (n+1)

=3n2 (n+1) [2n+1+5]

=2n (n+1)2 [2n+6]

= 3n (n + 1) (n + 3)

69. The given series is 52 + 62 + 72 + … + 202

This can be rewritten as (12 +22 + 32 + 42 + 52 + 62 + 72 + … + 202) - (12 + 22 + 32 + 42)

So, sum = (12 + 22 + 32 + 42 … + 202) - (12 + 22+ 32 + 42)

=i=120n2i=14n2

=20 (20+1) (2*20+1)64 (4+1) (4*2+1)6

=20*21*4164*5*96

= 2870 30

= 2840.

68. The given series is 11*2+12*3+13*4+?

So, an = 1(n1,2,3)*1(n ten 2,3,4)

=1[1+(n1)1]*1[2+(n1)1]

=1(1+x1)*1(2+n1)

=1n(n+1)

=(n+1)nn(n+1)

=(n+1)n(n+1)nn(n+1)

an=1n1n+1

So. Putting n = 1, 2, 3….n.

a1 = 1112

a2 = 1213

a3 = 1314.

So, adding. L.H.S and R.H.S. up ton terms

a1 + a2 + a3 + … + an = [11+12+13+?1n][12+13+14+?·1n+1n+1]

 Sn = 1 1n+1 { equal terns cancelled out}

 Sn = n+11.n1

 Sn = nn+1

67. The given series is 3 * 12 + 5 * 22 + 7 * 32 + ….

So,an = (nth term of A P 3, 5, 7, .) (nth term of A P 1, 2, 3, ….)2

a = 3, d = 5 -3 = 2a = 1, d = 2 -1 = 1.

= [3 + (n- 1) 2] [1 + (n- 1) 1]2

=[3 + 2n- 2] [1 + n- 1]2

(2n + 1)(n)2

= 2n3 + n2

So, = 5n2∑n3 + ∑n2

=2·[n(n+1)2]2+[n(n+1)(2n+1)6]

=n(n+1)2[2·n(n+1)2+(2n+1)3]

=n(n+1)2[3n(n+1)+(2n+1)3]

=n(n+1)2[3n2+3n+2n+13]

=n2(n+1)·[3n2+5n+13]

n(n+1)(3n2+5n+1)6

65. Given series is 1*2+2 *3+3* 4+4* 5+…

So, an (nth term of A.P 1, 2, 3…) (nth term of A.P. 2, 3, 4, 5…)

i e, a = 2, d = 2 -1 = 1i e, a = 2, d = 3 - 2 = 1

= [1 + (n- 1) 1] [2 + (n -1) 1]

= [1 + n- 1] [2 + n -1]

= n (n -1)

= n2-n.

Sn (sum of n terms of the series) = ∑n2 + ∑n.

Sn = n (n+1) (2n+1)6 + n (x+1)2

n (n+1)2 [2n+13+1]

n (n+1)2 [2n+1+33]

=n (n+1)2* (2n+4)3

=n (n+1)*2 (n+2)2*3

=n (n+1) (n+2)3

64. Let a and b be the roots of quadratic equation

So, A.M = 8

 a+b2=8 a + b =16 ….I

G.M. = 

 ab = 25…. II

We know that is a quadratic equation

x2x  (sum of roots) + product of roots = 0

x2x (a+b)+ab=0

x216x+25=0 using I and II

Which is the reqd. quadratic equation

63. Given,

Principal value, amount deposited, P= ?500

Interest Rate, R= 10

Using compound interest = simple interest + P*R*time100

Amount at the end of 1st year

500+500*10+1100=500 (1+0.1)=500*1.1

= ?500* (1.1)

Amount at the end of 2nd year

500 (1.1)+500*1.1*10*1100

500 (1.1) (1+0.1)

= ?500 (1.1)2

Similarly,

Amount at the end of 3rd year = ?500 (1.1)3

So, the amount will form a G.P.

? 500 (1.1)? 500 (1.1)2?500 (1.1)3, ……….

After 10 years = ?500 (1.1)10

62. Since the numbers of bacteria doubles every hour. The number after every hour will be a G.P

So, a=30

r=2

At end of 2nd hour, a3 (or 3rd term) = ar2=30*22

= 30*24

= 120

At end of 4th hour, a5 (r 4th  term) = ar4

= 30*24

= 30*16

= 480

Following the trend,

And at the end of nth hour, an+1= arn+11=arn

= 30 *2n
