Question : Which of the following statements is correct? I. The value of $100^2-99^2+98^2-97^2+96^2-95^2+$ $94^2-93^2+\ldots \ldots+22^2-21^2$ is 4840. II. The value of $\left(\mathrm{k}^2+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^2}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)$ is $\mathrm{k}^{16} - \frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^{16}}$.

Correct Answer: Only I
Solution : I. $100^2-99^2+98^2-97^2+96^2-95^2+$ $94^2-93^2+\ldots \ldots+22^2-21^2$ $= (100-99)(100+99) + (98-97)(98+97) + .......... + (22-21)(22+21)$ $= (1)(199) + (1)(195) + ............. + (1)(43)$ Here, $a$ = 43 and $d$ = 4 Let the number of terms be $n$. So, $a + (n-1)d = 199$ $⇒ 43 + 4(n-1) = 199$ $⇒ 4(n-1) = 156$ $⇒ n-1 = 39$ $⇒ n = 40$ Sum of AP = $\frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d)=\frac{40}{2}(43 + 199)= 4840$ II. $\left(\mathrm{k}^2+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^2}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)$ = $\left(\mathrm{k}^2+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^2}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^2-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^2}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)$ = $\left(\mathrm{k}^4-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4+\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)$ = $\left(\mathrm{k}^8-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^8}\right)\left(\mathrm{k}^4-\frac{1}{\mathrm{k}^4}\right)$ Hence, the correct answer is only I.
