\(\sum_{k=1}^{20} k k\) !is equal to
- A 21 !
- B 20 ! + 1
- C \(21!-1\)
- D \(20!-1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(21!-1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
We have, \(\sum_{k=1}^{20} k k\) ! \(\begin{aligned} \sum_{k=1}^{20} k k! & =\sum_{k=1}^{20}(k+1-1) k!=\sum_{k=1}^{20}[(k+1) k!-k!] \\ & =\sum_{k=1}^{20}(k+1)!-\sum_{k=1}^{20} k![\because(n+1) n!=(n+1)! \\ & =2!-1!+3!-2!+21!-3!+\ldots+21!-20! \\ & =21!-1 \end{aligned}\)
