If $a$ and $b$ are whole numbers then verify $a + b = b + a$ taking $a = 12$ and $b = 13$ .

Open in App

Solution

Step I - Taking L.H.S.
$a + b = 12 + 13$
= $25$
Step II - Now taking R.H.S,
$b + a = 13 + 12$
= $25$
As, in both the addition the answer is same .
therefore, It is verified that $a + b = b + a$ .

Fibonacci numbers Take 10 numbers as shown below:

a, b, (a + b), (a + 2b), (2a +3b), (3a + 5b), (5a +8b), (8a +13b), (13a + 21b), and (21a +34b).

Sum of all these numbers =11(5a + 8b) =11 $\times$ 7th number.

Taking a = 8, b= 13; write 10 Fibonacci numbers and verify that sum of all these numbers =11 $\times$ 7th number.
