consider,
(a1+a2+a3...+an)2= a12 +..an2 +2(sum of all the posible pairs like aiaj where i,j belongs (1,2,3...n)  and i=j)=0
therefore
(sum of all the posible pairs like aiaj where i,j belongs (1,2,3...n)  and i=j)= −½
 
now consider the given series,
here the second term such as in a1a2 can be substituted as like a2= −(a1+a3...an) from the eqn 1 given in the question
 
hence the overall series will become like,
= −{(a12 + a22+...an2)+(n−1)(sum of all the posible pairs like aiaj where i,j belongs (1,2,3...n)  and i=j)}
=−{1+(1−n)/2}
=(n−1)/2  − 1
 
 
hope this is useful
