Detailed Solution

The given expression is a+b+cn+a+b-cn

Suppose that a+b=x

Hence the above expression becomes (x+c)n+(xc)n, this expression has n2+1 terms

The expansion is 2(a+b)n+nC2(a+b)n2c2+..+cn

Hence, the number of terms is 2[(n+1) trems +(n1) terms ++1]

This is in arithametic progression, having first term 1, and common difference is 2, number of terms is n2+1

Hence the sum of first n2+1 terms is 

                                n2+122+n22=n+24n+2 =n+224 =n+222
