The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the sum: \[ S = \sum_{i=1}^{20} i \left( \frac{1}{i} + \frac{1}{i+1} + \frac{1}{i+2} + \ldots + \frac{1}{20} \right) \] ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inner Sum The inner sum can be rewritten as: \[ \sum_{j=i}^{20} \frac{1}{j} \] Thus, we can express \( S \) as: \[ S = \sum_{i=1}^{20} i \sum_{j=i}^{20} \frac{1}{j} \] ### Step 2: Change the Order of Summation We can change the order of summation. The term \( i \) will contribute to all \( j \) from \( i \) to \( 20 \). Therefore, we can express \( S \) as: \[ S = \sum_{j=1}^{20} \frac{1}{j} \sum_{i=1}^{j} i \] ### Step 3: Evaluate the Inner Sum The inner sum \( \sum_{i=1}^{j} i \) is the sum of the first \( j \) natural numbers, which can be calculated using the formula: \[ \sum_{i=1}^{j} i = \frac{j(j+1)}{2} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Back into the Sum Substituting this back into our expression for \( S \): \[ S = \sum_{j=1}^{20} \frac{1}{j} \cdot \frac{j(j+1)}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ S = \sum_{j=1}^{20} \frac{j+1}{2} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Sum We can separate the sum: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{j=1}^{20} (j + 1) = \frac{1}{2} \left( \sum_{j=1}^{20} j + \sum_{j=1}^{20} 1 \right) \] The first part \( \sum_{j=1}^{20} j \) is again the sum of the first 20 natural numbers: \[ \sum_{j=1}^{20} j = \frac{20 \cdot 21}{2} = 210 \] The second part \( \sum_{j=1}^{20} 1 \) simply counts the number of terms, which is 20. ### Step 6: Combine the Results Now we can combine these results: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \left( 210 + 20 \right) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 230 = 115 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the sum is: \[ \boxed{115} \]

To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the sum: \[ S = \sum_{i=1}^{20} i \left( \frac{1}{i} + \frac{1}{i+1} + \frac{1}{i+2} + \ldots + \frac{1}{20} \right) \] ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inner Sum The inner sum can be rewritten as: ...
