उत्तर
Given equation is,
– 4 + (–1) + 2 + 5 + … + x = 437
Here, –4 – 1 + 2 + 5 + … + x is in A.P.
Then, a = -4, d = -1 + 4 = 3, l = x
Given: Sn = 437
⇒ `"n"/2[2"a" + ("n" - 1)"d"]=437`
⇒ n[-8 + 3n - 3] = 874
⇒ 3n2 - 11n - 874 = 0
⇒ 3n2 - 57n + 46n - 874 = 0
⇒ 3n(n - 19) + 46(n -19) = 0
⇒ (n - 19) (3n + 46) = 0
⇒ n - 19 = 0, n = 19
⇒ 3n + 46 = 0
n = `-46/3` (Impossible)
Hence, n = 19
So, l = a + (n - 1)d
x = -4 + (19 - 1) 3
= -4 + 18 × 3
= -4 + 54
x = 50

Find the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4.
Activity: Natural numbers between 1 to 140 divisible by 4 are, 4, 8, 12, 16,......, 136
Here d = 4, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 4, d = 4, tn = 136, Sn = ?
tn = a + (n – 1)d
`square` = 4 + (n – 1) × 4
`square` = (n – 1) × 4
n = `square`
Now,
Sn = `"n"/2["a" + "t"_"n"]`
Sn = 17 × `square`
Sn = `square`
Therefore, the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4 is `square`.
