There are four balls of different colours and four boxes of colours, same as those of the balls. The number of ways in which the balls, one each in a box, could be placed such that a ball does not go to a box of its own colour is.......................

Let $$R$$ $$ = {\left( {5\sqrt 5 + 11} \right)^{2n + 1}}$$ and $$f = R - \left[ R \right],$$ where [ ] denotes the greatest integer function. Prove that $$Rf = {4^{2n + 4}}$$

The sum of the first n terms of the series $${1^2} + {2.2^2} + {3^2} + {2.4^2} + {5^2} + {2.6^2} + .........$$ is
$$n\,\,{\left( {n + 1} \right)^2}/2,$$ when $$n$$ is even. When $$n$$ is odd, the sum is .............

Sum of the first n terms of the series $${1 \over 2} + {3 \over 4} + {7 \over 8} + {{15} \over {16}} + ............$$ is equal to
