f(n) =
This formulae is useful to solve the problem
Sorry friend the above solution is wrong
The correct solution is here
given that f(1)=2005
and for n > 1 f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + ....... +f(n) + = f(n) .......... (1)
Equation 1 can be written as
Now =
f(n-1).... (3)
( Since from equation 1)
Now substitute the vale of equation 3 in equation 2
We get f(n-1) +f(n)=
f(n)
This can be written as (n-1)(n-1) .f(n-1) = .f(n) – f(n)
(n-1)(n-1) .f(n-1) = .f(n)
(n-1)(n-1) .f(n-1) = .f(n)
(n-1).f(n-1) = (n+1).f(n)
now given that f(1)=2005
Now to find f(2) put n =2 in equation (4)
We get =
f(2)= =
( since f(1) =2005 )
Now to find f(3) put n =3 in equation (4)
We get =
f(3)= =
.
( since f(2) =
)
Now to find f(4) put n =4 in equation (4)
We get =
f(4)= =
.
.
( since f(3)==
.
Now to find f(5) put n =5 in equation (4)
We get =
f(5)= =
.
.
.
( since f(4)=
.
.\frac{1.2005}{3}
f(5) = .
.
.
This is is true for first 5 terms
The above equation can be written as
f(5) = .
.
.
If we generalise for n terms
The numarator is 1.2.3.4…....(n-1) = (n-1)!
And the denominator is 1.2.3.4.5.6…..( n+1) = (n+1)! ( by 0bserving the above statement )
so f(n) = =
f(n) =
f(n) =
Now substitute n = 2004 in the above equation
We have f(2004) =
f(2004) = 
f(2004) = 
given that f(1)=2005
f(1) + f(2) + f(3) +...............+f(n)=n^2 .f(n) for all n>1 .................(1)
This means for n=1 f(1)=2005 and for the above values > 1 i.e n=2,3,4….... the values can be found through the equation 1
to find f(2) put n= 2 in equation 1 we get
Hi,
This has been answered…Check my reply
ya it is applicable when all the given things are not repeated
Sorry I donot have any Idea abt ur question. I think of it.But I donot get any idea. If U have any Shortcut method please publish in my community.
Thank you Mr.sharma I correct that mistake.
Nice lesson.Please explain above concepts with an example.Then it is easily to understand.

YOUR ASWER IS CORRECT, YOUR METHOD IS CORRECT BUT THIS SOLUTION WOULD TAKE MORE THEN 2 MINUTES TO BE WORKED OUT ,THIS MEANS IF THIS QUESTION COMES ON JEE YOU WILL LOOSE TWO TO THREE QUESTION. MOREOVER WE ARE LOOKING FOR SMALLEST EASIEST SOLUTION .THEREFORE THIS SOLUTION CAN’T BE TAKEN NOR CAN BE THOUGHT OF POLLING AS THE BEST SOLUTION.
