प्रश्न
A brick staircase has a total of 30 steps. The bottom step requires 100 bricks. Each successive step requires two bricks less than the previous step
How many bricks are required to build the stair case?
उत्तर
100 + 98 + 96 + 94 + … 30 steps.
Here
a = 100
d = – 2
n = 30
∴ Sn = `"n"/2` (2a + (n – 1)d)
S30 = `30/2` (2 × 100 + 29 × – 2)
= 15(200 – 58)
= 15 × 142
= 2130
No. of bricks required to build the stair case are 2130.
