JEE Main 2026 — 5 April, Morning Shift — Question 28

∑n=110528n(n+1)(n+2)∑_{n=1}^{10} \frac{528}{n(n+1)(n+2)} is equal to:

  1. Option A:

    65

  2. Option B:

    130

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    220

  4. Option D:

    440

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Let ∑n=110528n(n+1)(n+2)=λ\sum_{\mathrm{n}=1}^{10} \frac{528}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)(\mathrm{n}+2)}=\lambda Let Tn=1n(n+1)(n+2)\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)(\mathrm{n}+2)} Tn=12{(n+2)−nn(n+1)(n+2)}\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{(\mathrm{n}+2)-\mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)(\mathrm{n}+2)}\right\} Tn=12{1n(n+1)−1(n+1)(n+2)}\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)}-\frac{1}{(\mathrm{n}+1)(\mathrm{n}+2)}\right\} T1=12{11.2−12.3}\mathrm{T}_{1}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{2.3}\right\} T2=12{12.3−13.4}\mathrm{T}_{2}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{1}{2.3}-\frac{1}{3.4}\right\} ⋮ T10=12{110.11−111.12}\mathrm{T}_{10}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{1}{10.11}-\frac{1}{11.12}\right\} Sn=12[12−1132]\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{132}\right] Sn=12[66−1132]=65264\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{66-1}{132}\right]=\frac{65}{264} So, λ=65264×528\lambda=\frac{65}{264} \times 528 λ=130\lambda=130
