Question 55(iii)
All integers between 1 and 500 which are multiples of 2 as well as of 5 are 10, 20, 30, 40, . . . .490.
First term(a) = 10, common difference(d) = 20 – 10 = 10 and nth term(an) = 490.
By using the formula of nth term of an A.P.
an = a + (n – 1)d
So,
=> 490 = 10 + (n – 1)10
=> 10(n – 1) = 480
=> n – 1 = 48
=> n = 49
Now by using the formula of sum of n terms of an A.P.
Sn = n[a + an] / 2
So,
S49 = 49[10 + 490] / 2
= 49[250]
= 12250
