Solution
Given, sum of first n natural numbers = `1/2n^2 + 1/2n`
Sum of natural numbers from 11 to 30
= Sum of first 30 natural numbers – Sum of first 10 natural numbers
= `[1/2(30)^2 + 1/2(30)] - [1/2(10)^2 + 1/2(10)]`
= `900/2 + 30/2 - 100/2 - 10/2` ...[Divide each term by 2]
= 450 + 15 – 50 – 5
= 410

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)
