Frankly, I just typed 38 seeing your age in your profile , and it came out to be correct!! BTW happy birthday. ( sorry I don't know in advance or belated).
3 ( ∑ 2 n + 1 n 3 − ∑ 3 . 2 n + 1 2 )
For the former part , we know
∑ n = 1 ∞ x n = 1 − x x with ∣ x ∣ < 1
Differentiate it thrice and each time after differentiating multiply it by x and then again differentiate. (In total 3 times)
We get ∑ n 3 x n − 1 = ( 1 − x ) 4 1 + 4 x + x 2
Now multiply by x 2 and put x = 1 / 2
The latter part is a simple G.P.
Hence the answer is 3 8
