For any real number x, let [x] be the largest integer less than or equal to x. If $$\sum_{n=1}^N \left[\frac{1}{5} + \frac{n}{25}\right] = 25$$ then N is
Correct Answer: 44
It is given,
$$\Sigma_{n=1}^N\ \left[\frac{1}{5}+\frac{n}{25}\right]=25$$
$$\Sigma_{n=1}^N\ \left[\frac{5+n}{25}\right]=25$$
For n = 1 to n = 19, value of function is zero.
For n = 20 to n = 44, value of function will be 1.
44 = 20 + n - 1
n = 25 which is equal to given value.
This implies N = 44
