Exactly what I did. Cool solution! +1
Yep.. Nice (+1).. I knew someone would do my job and post the solution...
FYI There is not need to place everything in Latex. The sentences could be typed normally. I've edited the first sentence of your solution.
@Aditya Sharma The question has been edited (by I don't know whom) to decimal type question and the question is also edited .. So I think you should edit your third line and remove that φ α thing. I also think your solution is also edited by a moderator... Isn't it??

I edited the problem to simplify it and to make it harder to guess what the answer is.
I edited the solution to remove the a + b part. I think that the rest of the solution is fine.
The limit can be expressed as
lim n → ∞ ∑ k = 1 n k 3 ∑ k = 1 n ( k 2 ( n − k + 1 ) )
So we have,
n → ∞ lim ∑ k = 1 n k 3 ∑ k = 1 n ( k 2 ( n − k + 1 ) ) = = = = = n → ∞ lim ∑ k = 1 n k 3 n ∑ k = 1 n k 2 − ∑ k = 1 n k 3 + ∑ k = 1 n k 2 n → ∞ lim ∑ k = 1 n k 3 n ∑ k = 1 n k 2 − ∑ k = 1 n k 3 + ∑ k = 1 n k 2 ÷ n 4 n 4 n → ∞ lim n 1 ∑ k = 1 n ( n k ) 3 n 1 ∑ k = 1 n ( n k ) 2 − n 1 ∑ k = 1 n ( n k ) 3 + n 2 1 ∑ k = 1 n ( n k ) 2 ∫ 0 1 x 3 d x ∫ 0 1 x 2 d x − ∫ 0 1 x 3 d x + 0 3 1
Did the same way... (+1).... I was waiting for someone to write a solution using Reimann Sums :-)
Relevant wiki: Stolz–Cesàro theorem
This problem can be solved using Stolz–cesàro theorem . Let a n denote the numerator of the fraction given in the limit, similarly let b n denote the numerator of the fraction given in the limit.
By Stolz-Cesaro theorem, if the following limit exists, then it is equal to the limit in question:
n → ∞ lim b n + 1 − b n a n + 1 − a n .
In other words, if n → ∞ lim b n + 1 − b n a n + 1 − a n = L for some finite L , then n → ∞ lim b n a n = L .
We know that b n = k = 1 ∑ n k 3 ⇒ b n + 1 − b n = ( k + 1 ) 3 , and
a n = 1 2 ( n ) + 2 2 ( n − 1 ) + 3 2 ( n − 2 ) + ⋯ + n 2 ( 1 ) ⇔ a n + 1 = 1 2 ( n + 1 ) + 2 2 ( n ) + 3 2 ( n − 1 ) + n 2 ( 2 ) + ( n + 1 ) 2 ( 1 ) .
So a n + 1 − a n = 1 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 + ⋯ + n 2 + ( n + 1 ) 2 , thus
n → ∞ lim b n + 1 − b n a n + 1 − a n = = = = n → ∞ lim ( n + 1 ) 3 1 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 + ⋯ + ( n + 1 ) 2 n → ∞ lim n 3 1 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 + ⋯ + n 2 n → ∞ lim n 1 j = 1 ∑ n ( n j ) 2 ∫ 0 1 x 2 d x = 3 1 .
Since the limit exists, then so is the limit in question. Hence our answer is 3 1 .

Where did you find this question as it was posted way back!! Btw (+1).

Let us denote the numerator by N .
N = k = 1 ∑ n k 2 ( n − ( k − 1 ) ) = n k = 1 ∑ n k 2 − k = 1 ∑ n k 3 + k = 1 ∑ n k 2
N = 6 1 n 2 ( n + 1 ) ( 2 n + 1 ) − 4 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 + 6 1 n ( n + 1 ) ( 2 n + 1 )
T = n → ∞ lim 1 3 + 2 3 + 3 3 + ⋯ + n 3 1 2 n + 2 2 ( n − 1 ) + 3 2 ( n − 2 ) + ⋯ + n 2 ⋅ 1 = φ α
⟹ T = n → ∞ lim 4 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 N
We divide throughout by n 4
⟹ T = 4 n → ∞ lim n 4 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 6 1 n 4 n 2 ( n + 1 ) ( 2 n + 1 ) − 4 1 n 4 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 + 6 1 n 4 n ( n + 1 ) ( 2 n + 1 )
⟹ T = 4 n → ∞ lim n 2 n 2 ( n 1 + 1 ) 2 6 1 n 2 n 2 ( n 1 + 1 ) ( n 1 + 2 ) − 4 n 2 n 2 ( n 1 + 1 ) 2 + 6 n 1 n n ( n 1 + 1 ) ( n 1 + 2 )
Applying Limit The last expression in the numerator turns zero as the power of n is less than 4. , so
T = 4 1 2 6 2 − 4 1 = 3 1 = 0 . 3 3 3
