@Kushagra Sahni – RG here in Ajmer only. And yes the 12th exams were good..
You don't even need to evaluate the radicands for indicating that the series telescopes, just use the identity n 2 + n + 1 = ( n + 1 ) 2 − ( n + 1 ) + 1 . Use this identity to express both the terms in the same structure and then shift the limits of sigma notation.
