Detailed Solution
Let tr denote the rth term of the given series, then tr=1r(r+1)(r+2)(r+3) and tr+1=1(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)(r+4)⇒ rtr=1(r+1)(r+2)(r+3) and (r+4)tr+1=1(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)Thus, rtr−(r+4)tr+1=0⇒ rtr−(r+1)tr+1=3tr+1Putting r=1,2,…,n−2,n−1, we get 1t1−2t2=3t22t2−3t3=3t33t3−4t4=3t4⋯(n−2)tn−2−(n−1)tn−1=3tn−1(n−1)tn−1−ntn=3tnAdding above expressions, we get t1−ntn=3t2+t3+…+tn⇒ 4t1−ntn=3t1+t2+…+tn⇒ 11⋅2⋅3−1(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)=3Sn⇒ Sn=1316−1(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)
