Find the sum of the first $n$ terms of the series: $3+7+13+21+31+\ldots$

The ${n^{th}}$ term of the series $\frac{1^3}{1} + \frac{1^3 + 2^3}{1 + 3} + \frac{1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3}{1 + 3 + 5} + \dots$ is:

If the sum of the series $\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{3^2}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2^3}-\frac{1}{2^2 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3^2}-\frac{1}{3^3}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2^4}-\frac{1}{2^3 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{2^2 \cdot 3^2}-\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3^3}+\frac{1}{3^4}\right)+\ldots$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\beta}$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are co-prime,then $\alpha+3\beta$ is equal to....

For a series whose $n^{th}$ term is $\left( \frac{n}{x} \right) + y$,the sum of $r$ terms is:

Let $a_n$ denote the number of all $n$-digit positive integers formed by the digits $0, 1$ or both such that no consecutive digits in them are $0$. Let $b_n$ be the number of such $n$-digit integers ending with digit $1$ and $c_n$ be the number of such $n$-digit integers ending with digit $0$.
$1.$ Which of the following is correct?
$(A)$ $a_{17} = a_{16} + a_{15}$
$(B)$ $c_{17} \neq c_{16} + c_{15}$
$(C)$ $b_{17} \neq b_{16} + c_{16}$
$(D)$ $a_{17} = c_{17} + b_{16}$
$2.$ The value of $b_6$ is
$(A)$ $7$ $(B)$ $8$ $(C)$ $9$ $(D)$ $11$
Give the answer for question $1$ and $2$.
