I am getting one equation at this......

Answer 4

what is it

Answer 5

If one page is folded that means
x and the previous page of the same leaf is x-1

Forming an arithmetic progression for sum of consecutive numbers:

n(n+1)/2 = 15000 + x + x-1

Understand this? :)

Answer 15

Try this:
15000 = (n-2)/2 * [a + (n-2 -1)d]

where a=1,d=1 :D

Answer 16

does this work

Answer 17

I think so..
Because the sum is 15000 without including 2 pages so n-2 :D

Answer 18

i got the solution
n(n+1)/2=>15000
by hit and trial
1+2+3...+173=15051
x+x+1=15051-15000
2x+1=51
2x=50
x=25
x+1=26
