Answer:


2^(32) is the answer.

Explanation:

If we put a penny on the first square of a chess board, 2 on second, six on third and we keep on doing double for the next square then it will form a geometric sequence in the form of
T_(n)=2^(n-1)

1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms

Now we have to calculate the pennies on square 33 that will be

So pennies on 33rd square will be


T_(33)=2^(33-1)=2^(32)
