Correct Answer: 18900
Explanation:
Given,
${l_1},{l_2},\,.......,\,{l_{100}}$ are in A.P with common difference ${d_1}$.
So from property of A.P we can say,
${l_2} = {l_1} + {d_1}$
${l_3} = {l_1} + 2{d_1}$
$ \vdots $
${l_{100}} = {l_1} + 99{d_1}$
Also given,
${w_1},{w_2},\,......\,,\,{w_{100}}$ are in A.P with common difference ${d_2}$.
$\therefore$ From the property of A.P we can say,
${w_2} = {w_1} + {d_2}$
${w_3} = {w_1} + 2{d_2}$
$ \vdots $
${w_{100}} = {w_1} + 99{d_2}$
Now, also given,
${d_1}{d_2} = 10$
and ${R_i}$ is a rectangle whose length is ${l_i}$ and width is ${w_i}$ and area ${A_i}$.
