Find the sum of all integers between 100 and 550, which are divisible by 9.

उत्तर
In this problem, we need to find the sum of all the multiples of 9 lying between 100 and 550.
So, we know that the first multiple of 9 after 100 is 108 and the last multiple of 9 before 550 is 549.
Also, all these terms will form an A.P. with the common difference of 9.
So here,
First term (a) = 108
Last term (l) = 549
Common difference (d) = 9
So, here the first step is to find the total number of terms. Let us take the number of terms as n.
Now, as we know,
`a_n = a + (n - 1)d`
So for the last term
`549 = 108 + (n - 1)9
549 = 108 + 9n - 9
549 = 99 + 9n
Further simplifying,
450 = 9n
`n= 450/9`
n = 50
Now, using the formula for the sum of n terms,
`S_n =n/2[2a + (n -1)d]`
We get
`S_n = 50/2 [2(108) + (50 - 1)d]`
= 25[216 + (49)9]
= 25(216 + 441)
= 25(657)
= 16425
Therefore, the sum of all the multiples of 9 lying between 100 and 550 is `S_n= 16425`

In a potato race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, which is 5 m from the first potato and other potatoes are placed 3 m apart in a straight line. There are ten potatoes in the line.

A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest potato, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, runs back to pick up the next potato, runs to the bucket to drop it in, and she continues in the same way until all the potatoes are in the bucket. What is the total distance the competitor has to run?
[Hint: to pick up the first potato and the second potato, the total distance (in metres) run by a competitor is 2 × 5 + 2 ×(5 + 3)]
