![difference=1 (1,2) (2,3) 99c_1 ... ...(99,100) dif=2 (1,3) 2,4 3,5 ... 98c_1 ... 98,100 dif=3 (1,4) (2,5) (3,6) ... 97c_1 ... (97,100) so answer is 99c_1 +98c_1 +97c_1 +96c_1 +95c_1 +94c_1 +93c_1 +92c_1 +91c_1 +90c_1 =99+98+97+...+90 =((10)/2)[2×99+(10−1)×−1] =5(198−9)=5×189=945](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q53117.png)
