  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(7\)
  4. D \(9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f ( x + y )= f ( x ) \cdot f ( y ) \forall x , y \in N , f (1)=3\) \(f (2)= f ^2(1)=3^2\) \(f (3)= f (1) f (2)=3^3\) \(f (4)=3^4\) \(f ( k )=3^{ k }\) \(\sum_{ k =1}^{ n } f ( k )=3279\) \(f (1)+ f (2)+ f (3)+\ldots \ldots \ldots+ f ( k )=3279\)…
