Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((n+1)(2 n+1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \sum_{k=1}^{2 n+1}(-1)^{n-1} k^2 \\ & =\left[1^2-2^2+3^2-4^2+\ldots-(2 n)^2+(2 n+1)^2\right] \\ & =\left[1^2+3^2+5^2+\ldots+(2 n+1)^2\right] \\ & -\left[2^2+4^2+6^2+\ldots+(2 n)^2\right] \\ & =\left[1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+\ldots+(2 n+1)^2\right] \\ &…
