Question 52
Integers between 84 and 719, which are multiples of 5 are 85, 90, 95, 100, . . . . 715.
First term(a) = 85, common difference(d) = 90 – 85 = 5 and nth term(an) = 715.
By using the formula of nth term of an A.P.
an = a + (n – 1)d
So,
=> 715 = 85 + (n – 1)5
=> 5(n – 1) = 630
=> n – 1 = 126
=> n = 127
Now by using the formula of sum of n terms of an A.P.
Sn = n[a + an] / 2
So,
S127 = 127[85 + 715] / 2
= 127[400]
= 50800
Hence, the sum of all integers between 84 and 719, which are multiples of 5 is 50800.
