38 Chessboard is the type of game board used for the game of chess, on which the chess
pawns and pieces are placed. A chessboard is usually square in shape, with an
alternating pattern of squares in two colours, with its side being divided into eight
parts, resulting in a total of 64 squares. The inventor of the chess board suggested a
reward of one grain of wheat for the first square,2 grains for the second,4 grains for the
third and so on doubling the number of grains for subsequent squares .
Based on the above information answer the questions given below:
(i) How many grains would have to be given to the inventor for 30th square? 2
