A student wanted to find the sum of all the even numbers from 1 to 100. He said:The sum of all the even numbers from 1 to 100 is

twice the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 100. The sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 100 is 1002.
Explain why each of these statements is incorrect.

Answer:

The statements are incorrect as: The sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double\twice of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sum of an Arithmetic Progression(A.P.) is given by:

S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}\times (a+a_{n})

where 'n' denotes the "number" of digits whose sum is to be determined, 'a' denotes the first digit of the series and 'a_{n}' denote last digit of the series.

Now the sum of even numbers i.e. 2+4+6+8+....+100 is given by the use of sum of the arithmetic progression since the series is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

=\frac{50}{2}\times (2+100)

=25\times 102\\=2550

Hence, sum of even numbers from 1 to 100 is 2550.

Also the series of odd numbers is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100 is given by: 1+3+5+....+99

=\frac{50}{2}\times (1+99)\\ =25\times 100\\=2500.

Hence, the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 100 is 2500.

Clearly the sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Hence the statement is incorrect.

There would only be 50 odd numbers between 1 and 100 so therefor there would be 50 even so that would only be 50 odd numbers

FRIST ANSWER WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! what is 5/12 X 26
solong [7]
Simplify the following:
5/12×26

5/12×26 = (5×26)/12:
(5×26)/12

The gcd of 26 and 12 is 2, so (5×26)/12 = (5 (2×13))/(2×6) = 2/2×(5×13)/6 = (5×13)/6:
(5×13)/6
5×13 = 65:
Answer:  65/6
