Question

A flyer is spread by people at a large conference. Within one hour, the first person gives a stack of flyers to six people. Within the next hour, those six people give a stack of flyers to six new people. If this pattern continues, which summation can be used to calculate the number of people who receive a stack of flyers, not including the initial person, in the first five hours?

Answer 1

Answer:57987 people will have the flyers after 5 hours.

Explanation: Since,  when the first person gives the stake to six people then the flyer distributed by him=6

and when further these 6 people give the flyer to the 6 people then total distributed flyers = 7×6+1

and when again this 6 people give flyer to six people the total distributed flyers = (7×6+1)×6+1

thus by the above explanation it can be say that their is a series like (((n×(n+1))+1)n+1).........

since, every hour the process further repeated then the required number of flyers in 5 hours=((((7×6+1)×6+1)×6+1)×6+1)×6+1=57987 flyers
