The value of $$\frac{1 \times 2^2+2 \times 3^2+\ldots+100 \times(101)^2}{1^2 \times 2+2^2 \times 3+\ldots .+100^2 \times 101}$$ is

  1. A $\frac{305}{301}$ Correct answer
  2. B $\frac{306}{305}$
  3. C $\frac{32}{31}$
  4. D $\frac{31}{30}$

Solution

<p>$$\begin{aligned} & \frac{1 \times 2^2+2 \times 3^2+\ldots+100 \times(101)^2}{1^2 \times 2+2^2 \times 3+\ldots+100^2 \times 101} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\sum_\limits{n=1}^{100} n(n+1)^2}{\sum_\limits{n=1}^{100} n^2(n+1)} \end{aligned}$$</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{\sum_\limits{n=1}^{100} n^3+2 n^2+n}{\sum_\limits{n=1}^{100} n^3+n^2} \\ & =\frac{\left(\frac{100(101)}{2}\right)^2+\frac{2 \cdot 100(101)(201)}{6}+\frac{100(101)}{2}}{\left(\frac{100(101)}{2}\right)^2+\frac{100(101)(201)}{6}} \\ & =\frac{300(101)+4(201)+6}{300(101)+2(201)}=\frac{5185}{5117}=\frac{305}{301} \end{aligned}$$</p>
