Question :- If the number pattern below is extended in which row would 2010 be ?
1
2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
Solution :-
Lets see the pattern here,
→ First row = 1 number = 1
→ second row = 2 no. = upto 3 = 1 + 2
→ third row = 3 no. = upto 6 = 1 + 2 + 3
→ fourth row = 4 no. = upto 10 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
→ fifth row = 5 no..= upto 15 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
__________
we know that, sum of n terms of natural numbers is
- n(n + 1)/2 .
So, we can conclude that, we have to find which rows makes the sum equal to 2010.
A/q,
Lets check , sum of 60th terms = last number of series .
→ last number of 60th row = (60 * 61) /2 = 30 * 61 = 1830.
Than,
→ in 61th rows last term will be = 1830 + 61 = 1891.
→ in 62th rows last term will be = 1891 + 62 = 1953.
→ in 63th rows last term will be = 1953 + 63 = 2016.
we have to tell 2010 would be in which rows..
