A small terrace at a football ground comprises of $15$ steps each of which is $50\ m$ long and built of solid concrete.
Each step has a rise of $\frac{1}{4}$m and a tread of $\frac{1}{2}$m. (see figure). Calculate the total volume of concrete required to build the terrace.
$[$Hint: Volume of concrete required to build the first step = $\frac 14 \times \frac 12 \times 50\ m^3]$

The houses of a row are numbered consecutively from $1$ to $49$. Show that there is a value of $x$ such that the sum of the numbers of the houses preceding the house numbered $x$ is equal to the sum of the numbers of the houses following it. Find this value of $x$.
$[$Hint: $S_{x-1}=S_{49}-S_x]$
