a1= 5

a2 =5+2*2 = 9 = 2 ^ 2 + 2 + 3

a3 =9 + 2 * 3 =15 = 3 ^ 2 + 3 + 3

a4 = 15+2*4= 23 = 4 ^ 2 + 4 + 3

a{n} = n ^ 2 + n + 3

Required Sum = (2^2+4^2+6² +......+ 100 ²) + ( 2 + 4 + 6 +.... +100) + (50x3)

2^2(1^2+2^2+3^2+....+50^2) + 2(1+2+3+.....+50)+ 50x3

= 2 ^ 2 * ((50 * 51 * 101)/6) + 2((50 * 51)/2) + 50 * 3

= 100 * 1717 + 50 * 54

171700 + 2700

=174400

Therefore option A is the answer.

Thank you 😊
