Solution :-

Given series is 1 × 2 × 3 + 2 × 3 × 4 + 3 × 4 × 5 + …

It’s seen that,

nth term, an = n ( n + 1) ( n + 2)

= (n2 + n) (n + 2)

= n+ 3n+ 2n

Then, the sum of n terms of the series can be expressed as

\(s_n= \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n} a_k\)

The sum of n terms of the given series is

\( s_n= \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n} k(k+1)\)

\(\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2+s_n= \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n} k\)

\( \dfrac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}+\dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}\)

\( \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}(\dfrac{2n+1}{3}+1)\)

\( \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}\dfrac{2n+4}{3}\)

\( \dfrac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{3}\)
