2 1 ( 2 1 + 3 1 ) + 2 2 ( 2 2 1 + 3 2 1 ) + 2 3 ( 2 3 1 + 3 3 1 ) + ⋯ = n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n ( 2 n 1 + 3 n 1 )
If the value of the series above is equal to B A , where A and B are positive integers, find A + B .

Nice solution !! But it is a bit dark image.
Desired terms can be separated (To form AGP’s) as 2 1 ( ( 1 ) 2 1 + ( 2 ) ( 2 2 1 ) + ( 3 ) ( 2 3 1 ) + … + 2 1 ( ( 1 ) 3 1 + ( 2 ) ( 3 2 1 ) + ( 3 ) ( 3 3 1 ) + … For r e d series (S) S = 2 1 ( ( 1 ) 2 1 + ( 2 ) ( 2 2 1 ) + ( 3 ) ( 2 3 1 ) + … 2 S = 2 1 ( ( 1 ) 2 2 1 + ( 2 ) ( 2 3 1 ) + ( 3 ) ( 2 4 1 ) + … Subtracting, we get 2 S = 2 1 ( 2 1 + 2 2 1 + 2 3 1 + … \Rightarrow S=1\quad\quad\small{\color{}{\text{(Sum of a Infinite GP)}}} In a similar fashion we can obtain sum of g r e e n AGP and comes out to be 8 3 . Hence required sum= 1 + ( 8 3 ) = 8 1 1 .
Hence, 8 + 1 1 = 1 9
Colourfull !!
