(2) Mr Tan start to read a story book from Pade 13 until he completed the whole book. If there were 66 pages altogether, what was the sum of all the no is the odd-no pages he need ?

Thanks

Hi

We want to find the sum of the number of odd pages he read, not the total number of pages in the book.

Find the sum of the number of odd pages from page 1 to page 79 (13+66) which is equal to 1600 (square of 40)

From here, minus, the sum of the number of odd pages from page 1 to page 11 (6 pages) which is equal to 36

The sum -------1600 - 36 ------ 1564

there were 66 pages altogether


should count from page 1 to page 65 only? and then minus page 1 to page 9.

[Oldschool]

BTW, since Mr Tan start reading from Page 13, then Page 11 should also be minus away.

Hi

From 1 to 79, there are 40 number of odd numbers.

sum of odd numbers from 1 to nth term ------ n*n (n square)

40*40 ----- 1600

36 is the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 11 (1+3+5+7+9+11)
