Question 54
All even integers between 101 and 999 are 102, 104, 106, 108, . . . . 998.
First term(a) = 102, common difference(d) = 104 – 102 = 2 and nth term(an) = 998.
By using the formula of nth term of an A.P.
an = a + (n – 1)d
So,
=> 998 = 102 + (n – 1)2
=> 2(n – 1) = 896
=> n – 1 = 448
=> n = 449
Now by using the formula of sum of n terms of an A.P.
Sn = n[a + an] / 2
So,
S449 = 449[102 + 998] / 2
= 449[550]
= 246950
