Find the sum of all odd integers from 1 to 1001.

Ques: Find the sum of all odd integers from 1 to 1001. 

Ans: The odd integers from 1 to 1001 are 1,3,5,7, ..., 999, 1001.

This is an AP in which a=1, d=(3-1)×2 and I = 1001.

 Let the number of terms be n. Then,

an = 1001

an = a + (n-1) d = 1001 

1 + (n- 1) x 2 = 1001

 n= 501. 

Thus, a=1, l= 1001 and n = 501.

Sn = n(a+l) / 2 = 501(1 + 1001) / 2  = 251001.

 Hence, the required sum is 251001.

Ques : 2.0 gram of a metal burst in oxygen give 3.2 gram of its oxide. 1.42 gram of the same metal heat in steam give 2.27 gram of its oxide which toys shown by this data?  Ans : In the first compound, 3.2 gram of metal oxide contained 2.0 gram of metal 100 gram of metal oxide contained metal =2.0/3.2 × 100= 62.5 g :· % metal in first compound= 62.5% In the second compound, 2.27 gram of metal oxide contains metal = 1.42 gram 100 gram of metal oxide contains the metal= 1.42/2.27×100=62.55 gram :· % metal in first compound= 62.55% Thus, the percentage of metal in metal oxide obtained from to experiment is nearly same. Hence, the above data illustrate the law of constant composition.  <<   Previous                                                       Next   >>

Should Wizard Hit Mommy? Summary   John Hoyer Updike (March 18, 1932 – January 27, 2009) was an American novelist, poet, short-story writer, art critic, and literary critic. One of only three writers to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once. Updike published more than twenty novels, more than a dozen short-story collections, as well as poetry, art and literary criticism and children’s books during his career. Introduction Little children love to hear stories from their parents at bedtime. Such stories are mostly fables and have no logic behind them.

They want the child to accept as true whatever is...
