Answer 2

Option A

Sum of whole numbers from 1 to 10 is 55

Solution:

Given that,

The formula for finding the sum of the whole numbers from 1 to any whole number, n is given as:

`sum = (n(n+1))/(2)`

To find: sum of the whole numbers from 1 to 10

Whole numbers are positive numbers, including zero, without any decimal or fractional parts.

The whole numbers are:

{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, ......}

So sum of whole numbers from 1 to 10 means we have to add whole numbers from 1 to 10

Finding sum of whole numbers from 1 to 10:

Given formula is:

`sum = (n(n+1))/(2)`

Here n = 10

`sum = (10(10 + 1))/(2)\\\\sum = (10 * 11)/(2)\\\\sum = 5 * 11 = 55`

Thus sum of whole numbers from 1 to 10 is 55
