Question

\(\frac{1}{1.2.3}.\frac{1}{2.3.4}.\frac{1}{3.4.5}...\frac{1}{98.99.100}\)

Answer 1

\(\frac{1}{1.2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3.4}+\frac{1}{3.4.5}+...+\frac{1}{98.99.100}\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{2}{1.2.3}+\frac{2}{2.3.4}+\frac{2}{3.4.5}+...+\frac{2}{98.99.100}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3}-\frac{1}{3.4}+\frac{1}{3.4}-\frac{1}{4.5}+...+\frac{1}{98.99}-\frac{1}{99.100}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{99.100}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{9900}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{4949}{9900}\)

\(=\frac{4949}{19800}\)
