Sn = n/2(a+l), l=last term which is approx. equal to 0
Sn = 51/2(800) 61. Let the no. of students in front row be x.
Sn = 20400 So, the no. of students in next rows be x–3,x−6,x–9
x ... so
Sum of all multiples of 12 (200-600) = on

Tn= a+(n-1)d 600=204 + (n-1)12 x+(x–3)+(x–6)=6303x=639 x = 213
n-1 = 33 n = 34 So possible,
Sn = n/2(a+l), l=last term Similarly for n = 4
Sn = 34/2(204+600) x+(x–3)+(x–6)+(x−9)=630
Sn = 13668 4x–18=630 x=162
Sum of all multiples of 24(LCM of 8 and 12) = If n = 5

Tn= a+(n-1)d 600=216 + (n-1)24 Again possible.
n-1 = 16 n = 17 If n = 6
Sn = n/2(a+l), l=last term (5x−30)+(x−15)=630 6x−45=630 6x=675

2400 = 2* (10 +20 +30 .... 10n)
100%=75% + 80% - n(A ∩ B)

n(A ∩ B)=55% using formula for AP

2400 = 2* n/2(2*10 + (n-1)10)
In 55% cases they will both speak truth, in rest 45%
2400=10n^2 + 10 n
solving this you get n=15 as the positive root
so total number of stones on both sides = 30
