Let 7557r denote the r+2 digit number where the first and the last digits are 7 and the remaining r digits are 5. Consider the sum S=77+757+7557++755798. If S= 755 997+mn, where m and n are natural numbers less than 3000, then the value of m+n is

Solution

Given,

S=77+757+7557++755798

S=7×10+7+7×100+5×10+7+7×1000+5×100+5×10+7+755798

S=710+102++1099+501+11++111198+7×99

S=701099-19+50910-1+102-1++1098-1+7×99

S=701099-19+509101098-19-98+7×99

S=7×101009-709+5091099-1-99-98+7×99

S=7×101009-709+509111199-99+7×99

S=7×10100-70+55559909-550+693

S=7555.599-70+143×99

S=7555997+12109

So, on comparing we get, m+n=1210+9=1219
