Question

ABC is a right angled in which B=90 and BC=a. If n points L1,L2,L3,...,Ln on AB are such that AB is divided into (n+1) equal parts and L1M1,L2M2,...LnMn are line segments parallel to BC and points M1,M2,M3,...,Mn are on AC, then the sum of the lengths of L1M1,L2M2,...LnMn is :

Solution

The correct option is C an2
We have,
AL1AB=L1M1BC1n+1=L1M1a=L1M1=an+1
AL2AB=L2M2BCL2M2=2an+1,... and so on
Required sum =an+1+2an+1+...+nan+1
=an+1[1+2+...+n]=na2
