series question

Q1. How many numbers of a GP series of 100 terms ends with 6 which first term and common ratio is 2.

 

Q2. What is the smallest integer n such that the sum of the first n positive integers is divisible
by 13?

Q1.

The series is

2,  22,   23,  2, 25 .  .  .

and the terms with

2, 4 , 8 , 6, 2 , 4 .   .    .  

So for every 4 terms 1 term ends with 6

as the series is consist of 100 terms, 25 terms 'll end with 6

Q2 answer

Let the term be n

then sum of first  n terms = n * (n+1)/2

As 13 is a prime number the minimum value of n = 12

Q2   Minimum N is 

Q2

   Minimum N is  '13'.

  Sorry, yes it is 12
