Answer
B. 528
Explanation
Given, $${a_0} = {a_1} = 0$$ and $${a_{n + 2}} = 3{a_{n + 1}} - 2{a_n} + 1$$ For $$n = 0,\,{a_2} = 3{a_1} - 2{a_0} + 1$$ $$ = 3\,.\,0 - 2\,.\,0 + 1$$ $$ = 1$$ For $$n = 1,\,{a_3} = 3{a_2} - 2{a_1} + 1$$ $$ = 3\,.\,1 - 2\,.\,0 + 1$$ $$ = 4$$ For $$n = 2,\,{a_4} = 3{a_3} - 2{a_2} + 1$$ $$ = 3\,.\,4 - 2\,.\,1 + 1$$ $$ = 11$$ For $$n = 3,\,{a_5} = 3{a_4} - 2{a_3} + 1$$ $$ = 3\,.\,11 - 2\,.\,4 + 1$$ $$ = 26$$ For $$n = 4,\,{a_6} = 3{a_5} - 2{a_4} + 1$$ $$ = 3\,.\,26 - 2\,.\,11 + 1$$ $$ = 57$$ $$\therefore$$ $${S_n} = 1 + 4 + 11 + 26 + 57\, + \,....\, + \,{t_n}$$ $${S_n} = 1 + 4 + 11 + 26\, + \,....\, + \,{t_{n - 1}} + {t_n}$$ $$0 = 1 + 3 + 7 + 15 + 31\, + \,.....\, - {t_n}$$ $$ \Rightarrow {t_n} = 1 + 3 + 7 + 15 + 31\, + \,....$$ Now, find the sum of the series, $${t_n} = 1 + 3 + 7 + 15 + 31\, + \,.....\, + \,{x_{n - 1}} + {x_n}$$ .....(1) $${t_n} = $$ $$1 + 3 + 7 + 15\, + \,.....\, + \,{x_{n - 1}} + {x_n}$$ ......(2) Subtracting (2) from (1), we get ------------------------------------------------------------------------- $$0 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16\, + \,....\, + \,{x_n}$$ $$ \Rightarrow {x_n} = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16\, + \,.....\, + \,$$ n terms $$ = {{1({2^n} - 1)} \over {2 - 1}}$$ $$ = {2^n} - 1$$ $$\therefore$$ $${t_n} = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^n {{x_n}} $$ $$ = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^n {({2^n} - 1)} $$ $$ = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^n {{2^n} - \sum\limits_{n = 1}^n 1 } $$ $$ = {{2({2^n} - 1)} \over {2 - 1}} - n$$ $$ = {2^{n + 1}} - 2 - n$$ $${t_1} = {2^2} - 2 - 1 = 1 = {a_2}$$ $${t_2} = {2^3} - 2 - 2 = 4 = {a_3}$$ $${t_3} = {2^4} - 2 - 3 = 11 = {a_4}$$ $$\therefore$$ $${a_{22}} = {t_{21}} = {2^{22}} - 2 - 21 = {2^{22}} - 23$$ $${a_{23}} = {t_{22}} = {2^{23}} - 2 - 22 = {2^{23}} - 24$$ $${a_{24}} = {t_{23}} = {2^{24}} - 2 - 23 = {2^{24}} - 25$$ $${a_{25}} = {t_{24}} = {2^{25}} - 2 - 24 = {2^{25}} - 26$$ Now, $${a_{25}}{a_{23}} - 2{a_{25}}{a_{22}} - 2{a_{23}}{a_{24}} + 4{a_{22}} {a_{24}}$$ $$ = {a_{25}}({a_{23}} - 2{a_{22}}) - 2{a_{24}}({a_{23}} - 2{a_{22}})$$ $$ = ({a_{23}} - 2{a_{22}})({a_{25}} - 2{a_{24}})$$ $$ = [({2^{23}} - 24) - 2({2^{22}} - 23)][({2^{25}} - 26) - 2({2^{24}} - 25)]$$ $$ = [({2^{23}} - 24 - {2^{23}} + 46)][({2^{25}} - 26 - {2^{25}} + 50)]$$ $$ = (22)(24)$$ $$ = 528$$
