Answer 1

Answer:

answer for the given problem is given

Answer 2

So,

So,For IT

So,For ITNumber for Matchsticks 2

So,For ITNumber for Matchsticks 2For 2T

So,For ITNumber for Matchsticks 2For 2TNumber for Matchsticks = 4

So,For ITNumber for Matchsticks 2For 2TNumber for Matchsticks = 4For 3T

So,For ITNumber for Matchsticks 2For 2TNumber for Matchsticks = 4For 3TNumber for Matchsticks 6

So,For ITNumber for Matchsticks 2For 2TNumber for Matchsticks = 4For 3TNumber for Matchsticks 6So, we write

So,For ITNumber for Matchsticks 2For 2TNumber for Matchsticks = 4For 3TNumber for Matchsticks 6So, we writeNumber of matchsticks = 2n

So,For ITNumber for Matchsticks 2For 2TNumber for Matchsticks = 4For 3TNumber for Matchsticks 6So, we writeNumber of matchsticks = 2nWhere n = Number of T

$\rule{250}{6}$
