then find (a) last three digits of N
(b)last four digits of N
(c)last digit of N

2. (2)(2) + (4)(4) +(7)(8) +(11)(16) + (16)(32) + .......... Find the
sum to n terms of the series

q1

TAKE 2/9 COMMON SO U GET : 2/9(9+99+999+.....)

NOW ITS AN INFINITE GP AND SIMPLE SUBTRCTN!!!!

HOPE U GOT IT!!!

i thnk now u can solve it...

3.) t(k) = x/ak-1 (x/a1 -1)(x/a2 -1).....(x/ak-1 -1)

ne hint from here ?

Small correctino to madeforIIT's explanation.....

S= (2)(2) + (4)(4) +(7)(8) +(11)(16) + (16)(32) +..........+
2S= 2.4 +4.8 + 7.16 +............................... + 2Tn

Take difference,

-S=4 +(2.4+3.8+4.16+...................) - 2Tn

Now find the sum in the bracket and Tn

I Hope u can finish this one now..

3. Sum to (n+1) terms of the series
1+x/a1 + x(x+a1)/a1a2 + x(x+a1)(x+a2)/a1a2a3 + ......................

this is sort of easy to be pulled off..

Solve by reccurrsion..

take 2 terms then add the 3rd ... then add the 4th.. .you will see how easy this one is :)
