Answer» CORRECT option is (a) 247050 Best explanation: The AP according to the given data will be 100, 102, 104, …, 998 Here a = 100 and d = 2 Tn = a + (n – 1)d = 998 100 + (n – 1)2 = 998 100 + 2N – 2 = 998 2n = 998 – 98 n = 450 We know that, Sn = \(\frac {n}{2}\) (a + l) Sn = \(\frac {450}{2}\) ((100) + 998) Sn = 225(100 + 998) = 247050 |
