Re: Multiple Choice questions:

Answers to #221, #222, #224, #225, #226, #229, and #230:-
Other than #225, #229, and #230, All the answers are correct!
Well done, lightning!
TE39B_B_Neat-Work.gif
Regarding #227, Evaluate means 'to find the value'. In the question, you are asked to find the total 1+4+9=....1600. As it can be seen, these numbers are squares of 1,2,3, ...40. The formula for sum of squares of the first n natural numbers is given by


In this case, n=40 since √(1600) = 40.
Hence the sum would be (40 x 41 x 81)/6 = 20 x 41 x27 = 820 x 27 = 22140
I am sorry I forgot to give the options there. I have added them now.

Your answer to #257 is correct!
You had actually scored 100% but due to wrong question number being mentioned, I had said you scored 75%. After viewing the edited post, I became aware of this.
