Find the sum of all odd natural numbers less than 50.

उत्तर
Odd natural numbers less than 50 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ........, 49
Now, 3 – 1 = 2, 5 – 3 = 2 and so on.
Thus, this forms an A.P. with first term a = 1,
Common difference d = 2 and last term l = 49
Now, l = a + (n – 1)d
`=>` 49 = 1 + (n – 1) × 2
`=>` 48 = (n – 1) × 2
`=>` 24 = n – 1
`=>` n = 25
Sum of first n terms = `S = n/2 [a + 1]`
`=>` Sum of odd natural numbers less than 50
= `25/2 [1 + 49]`
= `25/2 xx 50`
= 25 × 25
= 625
