Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 91

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n} a_k = 6n^3\). Let \(S_n = 6n^3\). The \(n\)-th term of the sequence is given by \(a_n = S_n - S_{n-1}\). \(a_n = 6n^3 - 6(n-1)^3\) \(a_n = 6[n^3 - (n^3 - 3n^2 + 3n - 1)]\) \(a_n = 6(3n^2 - 3n + 1)\) Replacing \(n\) with \(k\) and \(k+1\), we…
