Answer:
4/25 or 0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/5*6) + (1/6*7) + (1/7*8)...+(1/24*25)
=>(6-5/5*6) + (7-6/6*7) + (8-7/7*8)....
=>(6-5/5*6) + (7-6/6*7) + (8-7/7*8)....+ (25-24/24*25)
=>(6-5/5*6) + (7-6/6*7) + (8-7/7*8)....+ (25-24/24*25)=>(6/5*6 - 5/5*6) + (7/6*7 - 6/6*7) + (8/7*8 - 8/7*8) +...+(25/24*25 - 24/24*25)
=>(1/5 - 1/6) + (1/6 - 1/7) + (1/7 - 1/8)+....+(1/24 - 1/25)
=>1/5 - 1/25
[as rest of the terms cancel out]
=>4/25 or 0.16
Question:
Find the value of given series;
1/5•6 + 1/6•7 + 1/7•8 + .........+ 1/24•25
Answer:
The required value of the given series is 4/25.
Solution:
Let the given series be "S".
Thus, we have;
=> S = 1/5•6 + 1/6•7 + 1/7•8 +..........
............ + 1/24•25
=> S = (6-5)/5•6 + (7-6)/6•7
+ (8-7)/7•8 + ....…...+ (25-24)/24•25
=> S = (1/5 - 1/6) + (1/6 - 1/7)
+ (1/7 - 1/8) + .......+ (1/24 - 1/25)
=> S = 1/5 - 1/25
=> S = (5 - 1)/25
=> S = 4/25
Hence,
The required value of the given series is 4/25 .
