let p(n):=1*2+2*3+3*4.....+n(n+1)=n(n+1)(n+2)/3
LHS
p(1)=1(1+1)=1(2) = 2
RHS
p(1)=1(1+1)(1+2)/3 = 1(2)(3)/3 = 2
LHS =RHS
therefore p(1) is true .
Assume that the statement is true for n=k,
p(k)=1*2+2*3+3*4+.....+k(k+1)=k(k+1)(k+2)/3
We need to show that the statement is true for k+1.
p(k+1)=1*2+2*3+.....+k(k+1)+k+1(k+1+1)
p(k+1)= p(k)+ (k+1)(k+2)
p(k+1)= k(k+1)(k+2)/3 +(k+1)(k+2)
taking (k+1)(k+2) as common
We can conclude that p(k+1) is true.
By the principle of mathematical induction, it is proved that p(n):=1*2+2*3+..+n(n+1)=n(n+1)(n+2)/3 is true.
