let `S_(n)` denote the sum of the cubes of the first n natural numbers and `s_(n)` denote the sum of the first n natural numbers , then `sum_(r=1)^(n)(S_(r))/(s_(r))` equals toA. `(n(n+1)(n+2))/(6)`B. `(n(n+1))/(2)`C. `(n^(2)+3n+2)/(2)`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`sum _(r=1)^(n) (S_(r))/(S_(r))=(S_(1))/(S_(1))+(S_(2))/(S_(2))+(S_(3))/(S_(3))+...+(S_(n))/(S_(n))`
Let `T_(n)` be the nth term the above series .
`T_(n)=(S_(n))/(S_(n))=([(n(n+1))/(2)]^(2))/((n(n+1))/(2))`
`=(n(n+1))/(2)=(1)/(2)[n^(2)=n]`
`therefore `Sum of the above series `=sum T_(n)=(1)/(2)[sumn^(2)+sumn]`
`=(1)/(2)[(n(n+1)(2n+1))/(6)+(n(n+1))/(2)]=(1)/(2).(n(n+1))/(2)[((2n+1))/(3)+1]`
`=(1)/(4)m(n+1)[(2n+1+3)/(3)]=(1)/(4xx3)n(n+1)(2n+4)`
`=(1)/(12)n(n+1)(2n+4)=(1)/(6)n(n+1)(n+2)`
