The correct answer is: n3-n2+1

Given,  a0=1,an+1=3n2+n+an n0

Putting, n=0,  

a0+1=3×0+0+a0

a1=a0=1

n=1,

a1+1=3×12+1+a1

a2=3+1+1=5

n=2.

a2+1=322+2+5

a3=19

an: a3

1 n3+n2+1 33+32+137 , (wrong option)

2 n3-n2+133-32+119 , (right option)

(3) n3-n233-32=18 (wrong option)

4 n3+n233+3236 (wrong option)
