Examples:
Input : n = 2 Output : 18 terms in 2nd row and their sum sum = (3 + 4 + 5 + 6) = 18 Input : n = 4 Output : 132
Naive Approach: Using two loops. Outer loop executes for i = 1 to n times. Inner loop executes for j = 1 to 2 * i times. Counter variable k to keep track of the current term in the series. When i = n, the values of k are accumulated to the sum.
Time Complexity: O(k), where k is the total number of terms from the beginning till the end of the nth row.
Efficient Approach: The sum of all the terms in the nth row can be obtained by the formula:
Sum(n) = n * (2 * n2 + 1)
The proof for the formula is given below:
Prerequisite:
- Sum of n terms of an Arithmetic Progression series with a as the first term and d as the common difference is given as:
Sum = (n * [2*a + (n-1)*d]) / 2
- Sum of 1st n natural numbers is given as:
Sum = (n * (n + 1)) / 2
Proof:
Let the number of terms from the beginning
till the end of the nth row be p.
Here p = 2 + 4 + 6 + .....n terms
For the given AP series, a = 2, d = 2.
Using the above formula for the sum of
n terms of the AP series, we get,
p = n * (n + 1)
Similarly, let the number of terms from the
beginning till the end of the (n-1)th row be q.
Here q = 2 + 4 + 6 + .....n-1 terms
For the given AP series, a = 2, d = 2.
Using the above formula for the sum of
n-1 terms of the AP series, we get,
q = n * (n - 1)
Now,
Sum of all the terms in the nth row
= sum of 1st p natural numbers -
sum of 1st q natural numbers
= (p * (p + 1)) / 2 - (q * (q + 1)) / 2
Substituting the values of p and q and then solving
the equation, we will get,
Sum of all the terms in the nth row = n * (2 * n2 + 1)

Output:
Sum of all the terms in nth row = 132
Time Complexity: O(1), the code will run in a constant time.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
