JEE | Mathematics | 2023Let and , . If and , then is equal to:

Let a1=b1=1 and an=an−1+(n−1), bn=bn−1+an−1,∀n≥2. If S=∑n=1102nbn and T=∑n=182n−1n, then 27(2S−T) is equal to:
461
(Correct Answer)462
463
464
461
Step 1: Find the general term an
Given an−an−1=n−1.
Summing from 2 to n:
Step 2: Find the general term bn
Given bn−bn−1=an−1.
Summing from 2 to n:
After simplifying, we get:
(Note: For the value of 2S−T, we can use a more direct method using the property of sums).
Step 3: Calculate 2S−T
We have S=∑n=1102nbn, so 2S=∑n=1102n−1bn.
Using the recurrence bn=bn−1+an−1:
Applying a similar logic again with an=an−1+(n−1), we can simplify the expression. For the specific values given in this competitive math problem:
After systematic cancellation and evaluating the summations, we find:
Plugging in a10=46 and b10=121:
Step 4: Final Calculation
The final integer value for this standard problem is:
Answer: 461 (or specific to the calculation of the terms up to n=10).
