Question
Observe the patterns of digits made from line segments of equal length. You will find such segmented digits on the display of electronic watches or calculators.

If the number of digits formed is taken to be n, the number of segments required to form n digits is given by the algebraic expression appearing on the right of each pattern.
How many segments are required to form 5, 10, 100 digits of the kind −

Solution
It is given that the number of segments required to form n digits of the kind -

is (5n + 2).
Number of segments required to form 5 digits = (5 × 5 + 2)
= 25 + 2 = 27
Number of segments required to form 10 digits = (5 × 10 + 2)
= 50 + 2 = 52
Number of segments required to form 100 digits = (5 × 100 + 2)
= 500 + 2 = 502

To find sum of three numbers 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways:
- We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or
- We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54. Thus, (14 + 27) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13)
This can be done for any three numbers. This property is known as the associativity of addition of numbers. Express this property which we have already studied in the chapter on whole numbers, in a general way, by using variables a, b and c.
