Q. The sum of 24 terms of the following series $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{8} + \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{32} + \ ...$ is

A) 300
B) $200\sqrt{2}$
C) $300\sqrt{2}$
D) $250\sqrt{2}$
Explanation

(c)
$\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{8} + \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{32} + ...$
$1 \times \sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{2} + 3\sqrt{2} + 4\sqrt{2} + ...$
$= \sqrt{2}(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ...upto\ 24\ terms)$
$= \sqrt{2} \times \frac{24 \times 25}{2} = 300\sqrt{2}\ \ \ \ \left\lbrack \because\Sigma n = \frac{n(n = 1)}{2} \right\rbrack$
