Solution

We have f: is such that

f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) for all x,y, f(1)=7.

Now,

f2=f1+1=f1+f1=2·7

Similarly,

f3=f2+1=f2+f1=3·7

f4=f3+1=f3+f1=4·7

                  

fn-1=7·n-1

fn=n·7

Therefore,

 r=1nf(r)=14112

f1+f2+f3+...+fn=14112

1·7+2·7+3·7+....+n-1·7+n·7=14112

71+2+3+....+n-1+n=14112

7nn+12=14112

nn+1=14112×27

nn+1=4032

nn+1=6363+1

n=63.
