n3  - (n-1 )3 + (n-2)3  -  ............+ (-1)n-1.13

2* [ n3  + (n-2)3  + (n-4)3  ............+ 23 ] - [ n3  + (n-1 )3 + (n-2)3  +  ............+ 23 + 13 ]

2*23* [ ((n-1)/2)3  + ((n-4)/2)3  ............+ 13 ] - [ n3  + (n-1 )3 + (n-2)3  +  ............+ 23 + 13 ]

sum of cubic terms of first n natural no's is:  n2(n+1)2/4

so, 16*(n-1)2(n+1)2/64 - n2(n+1)2/4

(2n-1)(n+1)2 / 4

hence solved
