Ifα, βare natural numbers such that100α-199β=(100)(100)+(99)(101)+(98)(102)+..+(1)(199),then the slope of the line passing through(α, β)and origin is:

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Let S=(100)(100)+(99)(101)+(98)(102)+...+(2)(198)+(1)(199)

S=x=099100-x100+x=x=0991002-x=099x2

S=1003-99×100×1996=1003-199×1650

Given that, S=100α-199β

 α=3β=1650

The slope of line passing through α,β & 0,0=1650-03-0=550
