I'll give hints only ---
1) a) By the time we reach the nth bracket, 1+2+3+...+(n-1) terms would have been used.

First term of nth bracket= n(n-1)2+1

b) Apply the previous logic here too.

2) arrange it like this =\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 &0 \\ 1& 0 & 1\\ 1& 0 & 2\\ . & . & .\\ 9&9 & 9 \end{matrix}

Now count how many times each digit appears in hundredth, tens and units places. Its not too difficult and the result will be symmetric for all digits 1-9. You dont need to rack your brains for 0 because it doesn't add to the sum.

I think the answer is 12600

3)
\begin{align*} S &=1+ \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{16}...\\ &=\left(1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{16}-\frac{1}{64}+... \right) + \left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{32}-\frac{1}{128}+... \right) \end{align*}

s=1+2*2+3*22......100*299
2s= 2+2*22+3*23....100*2100
s-2s=1+2+22+23.......-100*2100
-s=1+2100-12-1-100*2100
s=99*2100

take S, then take 2S and then subtract them , then just normal Gp

what is s - sx ?

Find S=1+2x2+3x22+4x23.............100x299.

S means to find the sum.

x means to multiply.

S=1+12-14-18+116......

S=1+12-14(1+12-14...)

S=1+12-S4

5S4=32

S=65...Answer..;)

1)Find the sum of the terms in th nth bracket:
a))(1), (2,3), (4,5,6), (7,8,9,10) ........
b)) (12) (22,32) (42,52,62).......

2)Find the sum of the sum of the digits of all 3 digit nos.

3)Find S=1+1/2-1/4-1/8+1/16+1/32-1/64-1/128..................

@jit-
The series goes like this 2,12,36,80...till n..which follows the form of n3+n2

13+12=2.
23+22=12.
33+32=36
.
.
.
.
n3+n2

Hence the sum of the series will be equal to the Σ n3 +Σ n2..

Hope u get it now..:):):)

@khilen how is the series of the form n3+n2?

1
jit kamdar ·

if a,b,c are in hp
then 1 ,1 ,1 are in A.P
a b c
by multiplying all three wth abc we get bc,ca and ab → which implies bc ca and ab r in A.P;-)

Khilen Khara ·

The series is in the form n3+n2

[n(n+1)2]2 +n(n+1)(2n+1)6

n(n+1)2{n(n+1)2 + 2n+13} Answer..:)

2)
1a,1b,1care in AP

1b-1a=1c-1b

a-bab=b-cbc

ca-cb=ab-ac

therefore bc,ca and ab are in AP..:)
