Solution
The given series is 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 30
Here,
a = 1
d = 1
n = 30
\[S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left( 2a + \left( n - 1 \right)d \right)\]
\[ S_{30} = \frac{30}{2}\left( 2a + \left( 30 - 1 \right)d \right)\]
\[ = \frac{30}{2}\left( 2\left( 1 \right) + 29\left( 1 \right) \right)\]
\[ = 15\left( 2 + 29 \right)\]
\[ = 15 \times 31\]
\[ = 465\]

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`.
