Given a number K, the task is to find the sum of numbers at the Kth level of the Fibonacci triangle.
Examples: 
 

Input: K = 3
Output: 10
Explanation: 
Fibonacci triangle till level 3:
  0
 1 1
2 3 5
Sum at 3rd level = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10

Input: K = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: 
Fibonacci triangle till level 3:
  0
 1 1
Sum at 3rd level = 1 + 1 = 2 

 

Approach: 

  1. Till Kth level, i.e. from level [1, K-1], count of Fibonacci numbers already used can be computed as: 
     
cnt = N(Level 1) + N(Level 2)
      + N(Level 3) + ... 
      + N(Level K-1)
    = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + (K-1)
    = K*(K-1)/2
  1.  
  2. Also, we know that the Kth level will contain K Fibonacci numbers.
  3. Therefore we can find the numbers in the Kth level as Fibonacci numbers in the range [(cnt + 1), (cnt + 1 + K)].
  4. We can find the sum of Fibonacci numbers in a range in O(1) time using Binet’s Formula.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation to find
// the Sum of numbers in the
// Kth level of a Fibonacci triangle
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define MAX 1000000
 
// Function to return
// the nth Fibonacci number
int fib(int n)
{
    double phi = (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2;
    return round(pow(phi, n) / sqrt(5));
}
 
// Function to return
// the required sum of the array
int calculateSum(int l, int r)
{
 
    // Using our deduced result
    int sum = fib(r + 2) - fib(l + 1);
 
    return sum;
}
 
// Function to return the sum of
// fibonacci in the Kth array
int sumFibonacci(int k)
{
    // Count of fibonacci which are in
    // the arrays from 1 to k - 1
    int l = (k * (k - 1)) / 2;
    int r = l + k;
 
    int sum = calculateSum(l, r - 1);
 
    return sum;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    int k = 3;
 
    cout << sumFibonacci(k);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation to find

import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
 
// Function to return
// the nth Fibonacci number

{
    double phi = (1 + Math.sqrt(5)) / 2;
    return (int)Math.round(Math.pow(phi, n) / Math.sqrt(5));
}
 
// Function to return
// the required sum of the array
static int calculateSum(int l, int r)
{
 
    // Using our deduced result
    int sum = fib(r + 2) - fib(l + 1);
 
    return sum;
}
 
// Function to return the sum of
// fibonacci in the Kth array
static int sumFibonacci(int k)
{
    // Count of fibonacci which are in
    // the arrays from 1 to k - 1
    int l = (k * (k - 1)) / 2;
    int r = l + k;
 
    int sum = calculateSum(l, r - 1);
 
    return sum;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
 
    int k = 3;
 
    System.out.println(sumFibonacci(k));
}
