Correct answer: B

  1. Given 4an=n2+5n+6=(n+2)(n+3)4a_n=n^2+5n+6=(n+2)(n+3)4an​=n2+5n+6=(n+2)(n+3) Hence, an=(n+2)(n+3)4a_n=\frac{(n+2)(n+3)}{4}an​=4(n+2)(n+3)​

  2. Find 1ak\dfrac{1}{a_k}ak​1​: 1ak=4(k+2)(k+3)\frac{1}{a_k}=\frac{4}{(k+2)(k+3)}ak​1​=(k+2)(k+3)4​

  3. Therefore, Sn=∑k=1n4(k+2)(k+3)S_n=\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{4}{(k+2)(k+3)}Sn​=∑k=1n​(k+2)(k+3)4​

  4. Use partial fractions: 4(k+2)(k+3)=4(1k+2−1k+3)\frac{4}{(k+2)(k+3)}=4\left(\frac{1}{k+2}-\frac{1}{k+3}\right)(k+2)(k+3)4​=4(k+21​−k+31​) since 1k+2−1k+3=1(k+2)(k+3)\frac{1}{k+2}-\frac{1}{k+3}=\frac{1}{(k+2)(k+3)}k+21​−k+31​=(k+2)(k+3)1​

  5. So the sum telescopes: Sn=4∑k=1n(1k+2−1k+3)S_n=4\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{1}{k+2}-\frac{1}{k+3}\right)Sn​=4∑k=1n​(k+21​−k+31​)

    Expanding a few terms, Sn=4(13−14+14−15+15−16+⋯+1n+2−1n+3)S_n=4\left(\frac13-\frac14+\frac14-\frac15+\frac15-\frac16+\cdots+\frac{1}{n+2}-\frac{1}{n+3}\right)Sn​=4(31​−41​+41​−51​+51​−61​+⋯+n+21​−n+31​)

    All middle terms cancel, giving Sn=4(13−1n+3)S_n=4\left(\frac13-\frac{1}{n+3}\right)Sn​=4(31​−n+31​)

  6. For n=2025n=2025n=2025, S2025=4(13−12028)S_{2025}=4\left(\frac13-\frac{1}{2028}\right)S2025​=4(31​−20281​)

    Now, 13−12028=2028−36084=20256084=6752028\frac13-\frac{1}{2028}=\frac{2028-3}{6084}=\frac{2025}{6084}=\frac{675}{2028}31​−20281​=60842028−3​=60842025​=2028675​

    Hence, S2025=4⋅6752028=27002028=225169S_{2025}=4\cdot \frac{675}{2028}=\frac{2700}{2028}=\frac{225}{169}S2025​=4⋅2028675​=20282700​=169225​

  7. Now compute: 507S2025=507⋅225169507S_{2025}=507\cdot \frac{225}{169}507S2025​=507⋅169225​

    Since 507=3⋅169507=3\cdot 169507=3⋅169, 507S2025=3⋅225=675507S_{2025}=3\cdot 225=675507S2025​=3⋅225=675

  8. Therefore, the correct option is: 675\boxed{675}675​ which is Option B.
