Question

\(\frac{1}{2\cdot3}+\frac{1}{3\cdot4}+\frac{1}{4\cdot5}+.....+\frac{1}{99\cdot100}\)

Answer 1

\(\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+\frac{1}{4.5}+........+\frac{1}{99.100}\\ =\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}\right)+.........+\left(\frac{1}{99}-\frac{1}{100}\right)\\ =\frac{1}{2}+\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}\right)+......+\left(\frac{1}{99}-\frac{1}{99}\right)-\frac{1}{100}\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{100}\\ =\frac{49}{100}\)

Answer 2

\(\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+\frac{1}{4.5}+...+\frac{1}{99.100}\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}.\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{5}+...+\frac{1}{99}.\frac{1}{100}\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}+..+\frac{1}{99}-\frac{1}{100}\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{100}\)

\(=\frac{49}{100}\)
