The correct Answer is:
To find the number of solutions to the equation \[ \sum_{l=1}^{501} x_l = 1501 \] where \( x_l \) are odd natural numbers, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Express odd natural numbers Odd natural numbers can be expressed in the form \( x_l = 2n_l + 1 \), where \( n_l \) is a non-negative integer. This means that each \( x_l \) can be rewritten as: \[ x_1 = 2n_1 + 1, \quad x_2 = 2n_2 + 1, \quad \ldots, \quad x_{501} = 2n_{501} + 1 \] ### Step 2: Substitute into the equation Substituting these expressions into the original equation gives: \[ (2n_1 + 1) + (2n_2 + 1) + \ldots + (2n_{501} + 1) = 1501 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation This can be simplified as follows: \[ 2(n_1 + n_2 + \ldots + n_{501}) + 501 = 1501 \] ### Step 4: Isolate the sum of \( n_l \) Now, isolate the sum of \( n_l \): \[ 2(n_1 + n_2 + \ldots + n_{501}) = 1501 - 501 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2(n_1 + n_2 + \ldots + n_{501}) = 1000 \] ### Step 5: Divide by 2 Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ n_1 + n_2 + \ldots + n_{501} = 500 \] ### Step 6: Find the number of non-negative integer solutions Now, we need to find the number of non-negative integer solutions to the equation: \[ n_1 + n_2 + \ldots + n_{501} = 500 \] This is a classic problem in combinatorics, and the number of solutions can be found using the "stars and bars" theorem. The formula for the number of solutions in non-negative integers to the equation \[ x_1 + x_2 + \ldots + x_r = n \] is given by: \[ \binom{n + r - 1}{r - 1} \] ### Step 7: Apply the formula In our case, \( n = 500 \) and \( r = 501 \): \[ \text{Number of solutions} = \binom{500 + 501 - 1}{501 - 1} = \binom{1000}{500} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the number of solutions to the equation is: \[ \binom{1000}{500} \] ---
