उत्तर
Total number of rows = 25
Number of trees in first row = 1
Number of trees in second row = 2
Number of trees in third row = 3
Total number of trees = 1 + 2 + 3 + ..... + upto 25 rows
Here,
a = 1
d = 1
n = 25
Now,
\[S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left( 2a + \left( n - 1 \right)d \right)\]
\[ S_{25} = \frac{25}{2}\left( 2a + \left( 25 - 1 \right)d \right)\]
\[ = \frac{25}{2}\left( 2\left( 1 \right) + 24\left( 1 \right) \right)\]
\[ = \frac{25}{2}\left( 2 + 24 \right)\]
\[ = \frac{25}{2}\left( 26 \right)\]
\[ = 25 \times 13\]
\[ = 325\]
Hence, the total number of trees are 325.
