$$\left( {\frac{1}{{1.4}} + \frac{1}{{4.7}} + \frac{1}{{7.10}} + \frac{1}{{10.13}} + \frac{1}{{13.16}}} \right)$$        is equal to = ?

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\left( {\frac{1}{{1.4}} + \frac{1}{{4.7}} + \frac{1}{{7.10}} + \frac{1}{{10.13}} + \frac{1}{{13.16}}} \right)$$
Formula :
$$\frac{1}{{{\text{Difference denominator value}}}} \times $$     $$\left[ {\frac{1}{{{\text{First value}}}} - \frac{1}{{{\text{Last value}}}}} \right]$$
$$ = \frac{1}{3} \times $$ $$\left[ {1 - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{7} - \frac{1}{{10}} + \frac{1}{{10}} - \frac{1}{{13}} + \frac{1}{{13}} - \frac{1}{{16}}} \right]$$
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{1}{3} \times \left[ {1 - \frac{1}{{16}}} \right] \cr & = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{{15}}{{16}} \cr & = \frac{5}{{16}} \cr} $$
