Q:
Find the sum to 200 terms of the series 2 + 5 + 7 + 6 + 12 + 7 + ....
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 30,400
Explanation: we can treat every two consecutive terms as one.
So, we will have a total of 100 terms of the nature:
(2 + 5) + (7 + 6) + (12 + 7).... => 7, 13, 19,....
We know the sum of n terms
Now, a= 7, d=6 and n=100
Hence the sum of the given series is
S= 100/2 x[2 x 7 + 99 x 6]
=> 50[608]
=> 30,400.
