21. In a charming village, there is a street called ‘Maplewood Avenue’, where the
houses are numbered from 1 to 49. A community group has decided to undertake a
green renovation project, aiming to install solar panels on the houses. They have a
few questions before they begin the project.
(i) How many houses are there on ‘Maplewood Avenue’ ?
(ii) The house numbers follow an Arithmetic Progression. What is the first term of
the A.P. and the common difference ?
(iii) If the group wanted to calculate the sum of all house numbers from 1 to 49,
how much would that be ?
(iv) What is the sum of the house numbers between 15 and 30 ?
