  1. We know sum of n terms of an A.P. is given by, Sn = n[2a + (n − 1)d] / 2.

    (a) First 40 positive integers divisible by 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12,…… ,120.

    These integers form an A.P. with first term(a) = 3,

    Common difference(d) = 6 − 3 = 3 and number of terms(n) = 40.

    S40 = 40[2(3) + (40 − 1)3]/2

    = 40(6 + 117)/2

    = 20(123) = 2460

    Hence, the sum of first 40 multiples of 3 is 2460.

    (b) First 40 positive integers divisible by 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20,…… ,200.

    These integers form an A.P. with first term(a) = 5,

    Common difference(d) = 10 − 5 = 5 and number of terms(n) = 40.

    S40 = 40[2(5) + (40 − 1)5]/2

    = 40(10 + 195)/2

    = 20(205) = 4100

    Hence, the sum of first 40 multiples of 5 is 4100.

    (c) First 40 positive integers divisible by 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24,…… ,240.

    These integers form an A.P. with first term(a) = 6,

    Common difference(d) = 12 − 6 = 6 and number of terms(n) = 40.

    S40 = 40[2(6) + (40 − 1)6]/2

    = 40(12 + 234)/2

    = 20(246) = 4920

    Hence, the sum of first 40 multiples of 6 is 4920.
