Respuesta :
The maximum number of integers is 27 that can be added together before the summation of the A.P. Series exceeds 401.
According to the statement
We have a given that the maximum sum of the positive integers is 400.
And we have to find the value of n which is a maximum number of integers by which the value of sum become 400.
So, to find the value of the n we use the
A.P. Series'Summation formula
According to this,
S = n (n+1)/2
Here the value of s is 401
Then
S = n (n+1)/2
401 = n (n+1)/2
401*2 = n (n+1)
802 =n (n+1)
n (n+1) = 802
n^2 + n -802 =0
By the use of the Discriminant formula the
value of n becomes n = -28 and n = 27.
The negative value of n is neglected.
Therefore the value of n is 27.
So, The maximum number of integers is 27 that can be added together before the summation of the A.P. Series exceeds 401.
