(C) \(\frac{55}{336}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

General term of given expression can be written as \({T_r} = \frac{1}{3}\left[ {\frac{1}{{n\left( {n + 1} \right)\left( {n + 2} \right)}} - \frac{1}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)\left( {n + 2} \right)\left( {n + 3} \right)}}} \right]\) on taking summation both the side, we get…
