Arithmetic progression

In a Society, the houses are arranged in one line numbering 1 to 49. What is that value of 'x' for which the sum of the numbers of the houses preceding the house number 'x' is equal to the sum of the numbers of the houses following it.

Arithmetic Progression

 The sequence  p1, p2 ... and q1, q2 … are in arithmetic progressions such that p1q1 = 50 and p11  p10 = q99 q100. Find the sum of the first 100 terms of the progression, 
p1 + q1),( p2 + q2)

Algebra

Express 35 as a difference of 2 squares


simple equations

A and B start at noon from two towns 60 km apart, A's rate of walking is twice that of B's. If they walk 5 hours before they meet, find their rate of walking.


answer:
A = 8 km/hr, B = 4 km/hr

simple equation

If P and Q represent two towns 48 kms apart, and if A is walking from P to Q at 7 km/hr while B walks from Q to P at 5 km/hr, both starting at 9:00 am, at what time will they be 12 km apart?
