If you started a business in which you earned Rs.1 on the
first day, Rs.3 on the second day, Rs.5 on the third day,
Rs.7 on the fourth day, & so on.

How much would you have earned with this business after 50
years (assuming there are exactly 365 days in every year)?

Answer Posted / siddheshwar mali

he ans is 333062500

50 yrs = 50 * 365 = 18250 days

the total earning=1+3+5+7+.......+n
where n=18250

so the sum of arithmetic progression is given by
s= n/2(2a+(n-1)d)
where
s = sum of progression
n = number of terms
a = value of first term
d = difference between 2 terms

so s=(18250/2)(2*1+18249*2)
which gives s=333062500

Answer / abhishek gupta

The correct ans. is 333062500

It's given that we work for 50 years, i.e., 50*365= 18250 days.

if we earn Rs.1 on the first day, Rs.3 on the second day,
Rs.5 on the third day & Rs.7 on the fourth day, means we
square the total no. of days to get the total money we
earned. E.g.

In 1 day, we earn Re.1 (squaring 1)
In 2 days, we earn Rs.3+1 (squaring 2) & so on......
So, squaring 18250 , the ans. is 333062500, i.e., we earn
Rs. 333062500 in 50 years= 18250 days.
