Answer:

After 16 rounds the champion of Ping-Pong player can be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of geometric progression,

First term = 65,536

\texttt{Common ratio = }\frac{1}{2}

Now we need to find which term is 1 in this GP.

N th term of GP is given by

             t_n=ar^{n-1}

Substituting

               1=65536\times \left ( \frac{1}{2}\right )^{n-1}\\\\\frac{1}{65536}=\left ( \frac{1}{2}\right )^{n-1}\\\\2^{n-1}=65536\\\\2^{n-1}=2^{16}\\\\n=17

Seventeenth term of this GP is 1.

That is after 16 rounds the champion of Ping-Pong player can be determined.

Setler [38]
10 months. First you subtract what is already in possession from what they need: $1450-$1200= $250    Then you would divide how much money is left to earn by how much money is gained every year:  $250 divided by $25= 10 months    Hope this helps!!
