Dis is a very easy Jee problem (1991) n most of us can surely do it. Try it! The correct reply will be rated!!!
 
If S1, S2, S3, ...., Sn are sums of infinite geometric series whose first terms are 1, 2, 3, ...., n and whose common ratios are 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...., 1/(n+1) respectively, then find the value of S1^2 + S2^2 + S3^2 +.....+S2n-1^2.

for infinit GP..
Sn = a/1-r
 
so as per condition,,
S1= 2
S2= 3/2.....
...Sn= n+1/n
 
So,,it is...
sum of  (k+1/k)2  ...with k= 1 to 2n - 1

The series is 22 + 32 + 42 + ... (2n)2
 
Add and subtract 1, and then use the sum of squares formula?

Will nip in at times to solve problems :)

Hmm... I don't see any mistake in my solution.....S1 = 2, S2 = 3 similiarly, S2n-1 = 2n,

So the sum is 2^2 + 3^2 + ... + (2n)^2...
