Solution

The correct option is D

None of these


Explanation for the correct option:

Given expression, i1+3+5+.....+(2n+1)

It is clear that the terms in the power of i are in A.P. with starting term as 1 and common difference as 2 and n+1 number of terms.

So,

i1+3+5+.....+(2n+1)=in+122(1)+(n+1-1)2i1+3+5+.....+(2n+1)=in+122+2ni1+3+5+.....+(2n+1)=i1+n2{Since, the formula of the sum of n terms of an A.P is n2(2a+(n-1)d)}

Since, when n is even then n+12 is odd.

So, The value of the given expression i1+3+5+.....+(2n+1) is 1.

Since, when n is odd then n+12 is even.

So, The value of the given expression i1+3+5+.....+(2n+1) is i.

Therefore, the value of the given expression is 1 when n is even and i when n is odd.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
