The correct answer is: \( \frac{1}{12} n(n+1)\left(3 n^{2}+n+2\right) \)

Vr= Sum of first r terms of an AP whose first term is r and common difference is 2r-1

=r22r+r-12r-1

=r22r+2r2-3r+1

=r22r2-r+1

=122r3-r2+r

Now, r=1nVr=122r=1nr3-r=1nr2+r=1nr

=122·nn+122-nn+12n+16+nn+12

=12n2n+122-nn+12n+16+nn+12

=nn+14nn+1-2n+13+1

=nn+143n2+3n-2n-1+33

=nn+1123n2+n+2
