James ordered a fishing rod, priced at $3.56. Unfortunately, James is an Eskimo who lives in a very remote part of Greenland and the import rules there forbid any package longer than 4 feet to be imported. The fishing rod was 4 feet and 1 inch, just a little too long, so how can the fishing rod be mailed to James without breaking the rules? Ideally James would like the fishing rod to arrive in one piece!
Answer: Insert the fishing rod into a box which measures 4 feet on all sides, the fishing rod will fit within the diagonal of the box with room to spare.
Solution:
How do you calculate 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 quickly?
Answer: 55
Solution:
Answer : 55
The series “1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10” can be considered as the sum of the first 10 Natural numbers.
The generalized formula to find the sum of first N natural numbers is
(N * (N + 1) ) /2
For the series given, the value of N is 10
So substituting value of N in the generalized formula
( 10 * (10 + 1) ) / 2
= (10 * 11 ) / 2
= 110/2
Correct answer = 55
