. We're sorry about the hassle.
Sorry but I don't know, Riemann zeta function. I got 8 l n 2 − 8 + 4 ∫ 0 1 x l n ( 1 + x ) d x . How to calculate this integral?

Bro i dont think this integral has representation in elementary functions!
I Remembered the famous series as pi^2 / 6.
You can have a look of its derivation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem
You can first expand ln ( 1 + x ) into its Maclaurin series, divide each term of the series by x then integrate. But you will still need to use ζ ( s ) = ∑ k = 1 ∞ k s 1 .
Your integrand is the first derivative of the Beta function with proper values.
Sir can you pls explain how did you get ln 2 from the first summation?

Do you know taylor series expansion of ln(1+x)??
If not then see this
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MaclaurinSeries.html
And if you want to derive then you should know the concept of interchanging summation and integration? are you aware of that?

Yes I think i know about it.. If we use McLaurin expansion then we get all the series?

@Anik Mandal – If you know about it then Write terms of the summation in forms of Integration and then interchange it with summation!

@Prakhar Bindal – Thanks bro i got it! Also another doubt: Above in the solution how did it become 8 ln 2 I thought it should be 4 ln 2 .It may be lame but i am not getting it

@Anik Mandal – Because when you write down initial terms of sequence you will see that in second sum one or terms are missing. so to become expansion of ln(1+x) that term should be added or subtracted

S = 1 3 1 − 1 3 + 2 3 2 + 1 3 + 2 3 + 3 3 3 − 1 3 + 2 3 + 3 3 + 4 3 4 + . . . = k = 1 ∑ ∞ ∑ i = 1 k i 3 ( − 1 ) k + 1 k = k = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 2 k 2 ( k + 1 ) 2 ( − 1 ) k + 1 k = k = 1 ∑ ∞ k ( k + 1 ) 2 ( − 1 ) k + 1 4 = 4 k = 1 ∑ ∞ ( − 1 ) k + 1 ( k 1 − k + 1 1 − ( k + 1 ) 2 1 ) = 8 k = 1 ∑ ∞ k ( − 1 ) k + 1 − 4 + 4 k = 1 ∑ ∞ k 2 ( − 1 ) k + 1 − 4 = 8 ln 2 + 4 ⋅ 2 1 ζ ( 2 ) − 8 = 8 ln 2 + 3 π 2 − 8 Expanding into partial fractions, Riemann zeta function ζ ( 2 ) = 6 π 2
⟹ A + B + C = 2 + 3 + 8 = 1 3
