题目
Series F is defined as F n = F(n – 1) + 3 and F 1 = 10.
Quantity A
The sum of F 4 through F 10
Quantity B
The sum of F 6 through F 11
选项
C.The two quantities are equal.
D.The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
解析
该数列为等差数列,每一项都等于前一项加3。
此外,我们可以发现两列有很多相同项,因为:
A列:F4+F5+F6+F7+F8+F9+F10
B列:F6+F7+F8+F9+F10+F11
因此,我们可以将比较简化为:
A列:F4+F5
B列:F11
由于每一项都比前一项大3,我们可以计算这三项的值:
F4 = F1 + 3×3 = 19;F5 = F4 + 3 = 21;F11 = F5 + 6×3 = 39。
此时,A列 = 19 + 21 = 40,B列 = 39。
A列的数值更大!
