Correct answer: D. 1259
Explanation
As printed, the first 15 terms are 22, 32, …, 162, and their sum is (16 × 17 × 33)/6 − 1 = 1496 − 1 = 1495, which is not among the four options. The setter evidently intended the series 12, 22, …, 152, for which the sum is n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 = (15 × 16 × 31)/6 = 1240. Because of this printing error NTA dropped the question and gave marks to all candidates.जैसा छपा है, पहले 15 पद 22, 32, …, 162 हैं और उनका योग (16 × 17 × 33)/6 − 1 = 1496 − 1 = 1495 होता है, जो चारों विकल्पों में नहीं है। प्रश्न-निर्माता का आशय स्पष्टतः श्रेणी 12, 22, …, 152 से था, जिसका योग n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 = (15 × 16 × 31)/6 = 1240 है। इसी मुद्रण-त्रुटि के कारण NTA ने इस प्रश्न को हटा (Drop) दिया और सभी अभ्यर्थियों को अंक दिए।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
