@Aareyan Manzoor – Hint: Convert n 4 1 into a form of an integral.
@Aareyan Manzoor – Btw, what was your method?

@Aditya Kumar – my method was H n = ∫ 0 1 x − 1 x n − 1 dx
Yes aaryen is right. You'll have to explain the second summation. The first one is just by properties of double summation.
@Aditya Kumar @Aareyan Manzoor Check out my solution.I have elaborated necessary things.

n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( n + 1 ) 4 H n = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n 4 H n ) − ζ ( 5 )
Now we will evaluate ∑ n = 1 ∞ n 4 H n
Consider n 4 1 = − 6 ∫ 0 1 x n − 1 ln 3 d x
Multiplying both sides with H n ,
n 4 H n = − 6 ∫ 0 1 ( H n x n − 1 ) ln 3 d x
⟹ n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 4 H n = − 6 ∫ 0 1 n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( H n x n ) x ln 3 d x
Using generating function for the harmonic numbers → ∑ n = 1 ∞ H n x n = 1 − x − l n ( 1 − x ) ,
⟹ n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 4 H n = 6 ∫ 0 1 x ( 1 − x ) ln ( 1 − x ) ln 3 d x
The integral is easy to evaluate, it is just derivative of beta function.Let K denote that integral.
Then K = 6 ∂ a ∂ b 3 ∂ 4 F , where F = ∫ 0 1 x b ( 1 − x ) a d x
It evaluates to 3 ζ ( 5 ) − ζ ( 3 ) ζ ( 2 )
Thus n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 4 H n − ζ ( 5 ) = 2 ζ ( 5 ) − ζ ( 3 ) ζ ( 2 )
Thus final answer = 2 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 1 2
