Let's start by visualising this concept.
Number of grains on square:
1 2 4 8 16 ...
We can see that it starts to form a geometric sequence, with the common ratio being 2.
For the first question, we simply want the fifteenth term, so we just use the nth term geometric form:
Thus, there are 16, 384 grains on the fifteenth square.
The second question begs the same process, only this time, it's a summation. Using our sum to n terms of geometric sequence, we get:
Thus, there are 32, 767 total grains on the first 15 squares, and you should be able to work the rest from here.

Answer:
a)6,7,8,9 and 10th term is 15.
b)1,3,5,7 and 10th term is 19.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a) n+5
b)2n-1
Solution for a) n+5
Taking the value of n is 1 we get the first term of the sequence;
Similarly taking the value of n 2,3,4 we get;
And for 10th term we take the value of n is 10 and get;
So the solution for 1st sequence is 6,7,8,9 and 10th term is 15.
Solution for b)2n-1
Taking the value of n is 1 we get the first term of the sequence;
Similarly taking the value of n 2,3,4 we get;
And for 10th term we take the value of n is 10 and get;
So the solution for 2nd sequence is 1,3,5,7 and 10th term is 19.
