उत्तर

Given that,

a = 17

l = 350

d = 9

Let there be n terms in the A.P.

l = a + (n − 1) d

350 = 17 + (n − 1)9

9n = 350 + 9 - 17

9n = 359 - 17

9n = 342

⇒ n = `342/9`

⇒ n = 38

Sn = `n/2(a+l)`

Sn = `38/2(17+350)`

= 19 × 367

= 6973

Thus, this A.P. contains 38 terms and the sum of the terms of this A.P. is 6973.

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`.
