The correct answer is: 330

Given, fx+y=fx+fy+xy  x, yR

Put y=1, we get

fx+1=fx+f1+x

fx+1-fx=3+x

On taking Sigma on both sides

 x=1n-1fx+1-fx=x=1n-13+x

f2-f1+f3-f2+f4-f3+f5-f4+......+fn-fn-1

=3n-1+n-1n2

fn-f1=3n-1+n-1n2

fn-3=3n-1+n-1n2

fn=n22+5n2

Again taking Sigma on both the sides 

n=110fn=n=110n22+5n2

n=110fn=12.10.11.216+52.10.112

n=110fn=330.
