Part (a)

No. This system is not time-invariant. The general equation of the system is as follows.

$ X_{k}[n] = d[n-k] $

$ Y_{k}[n] = (k+1)^2 d[n-(k+1)] $

Shifting $ X_{k}[n] $ by a constant "a" yields $ X_{k}[n-a] $

Shifting $ Y_{k}[n] $ by a constant "a" yields $ Y_{k}[n-a] $

$ (1) X_{k}[n-a] = d[n-k-a] $

$ (2) Y_{k}[n-a] = (k+1)^2 d[n-(k+1)-a] $

As shown in (2), $ (k+1)^2 $ does not get shifted. Thus, a shift made in $ X_{k}[n] $ does not accordingly shift $ Y_{k}[n] $


Part (b)

First.... The question is unclear.

$ X_{k}[n] = 1/(n+2)^2*u[n] $
