  1. If (1012 + 25)² – (1012 – 25)² = 10n, then the value of n is

    With the help of given below formula ,
    (a + b)² - (a - b)² = 4ab
    ∴ (1012 + 25)² - (1012 - 25)² = 10n
    Here , a = 1012 , b = 25
    ⇒ 4 × 1012 × 25 = 10n
    ⇒ 100 × 1012 = 10n
    ⇒ 102 × 1012 = 10n

    Correct Option: B

    With the help of given below formula ,
    (a + b)² - (a - b)² = 4ab
    ∴ (1012 + 25)² - (1012 - 25)² = 10n
    Here , a = 1012 , b = 25
    ⇒ 4 × 1012 × 25 = 10n
    ⇒ 100 × 1012 = 10n
    ⇒ 102 × 1012 = 10n
    ⇒ 1014 = 10n
    Equating powers on both sides ,
    ⇒ n = 14



  1. Given 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + .... + 10 = 55, then the sum 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + .... + 60 is equal to :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Given in question , 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + .... + 10 = 55.
    Then, 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + .... + 60 = 6 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + .... + 10)

    Correct Option: C

    Given in question , 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + .... + 10 = 55.
    Then, 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + .... + 60 = 6 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + .... + 10)
    ∴ Required answer = 6 × 55 = 330
