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
