Question

Find the sum of all numbers from 50 to 350 which are divisible by 6. Hence find the 15th term of that A.P.

Solution

The numbers from 50 to 350 which are divisible by 6 are 54, 60, 66, ……, 348.

∴ First term =a=t1= 54, d= 6 and tn= 348

tn = a+(n-1)d

∴348 = 54+(n-1)6

∴294 = (n-1)6

∴49 = n-1

∴n = 50

`S_n= n/2(t_1+t_n)`

∴S50= `50/2(54+348)`

      =25*402

     =10050

t15 = 54+14(6)= 54+84 = 138

Thus, the sum of all numbers from 50 to 350,which are divisible by6, is 10050 and the 15th term of this A.P. is 138.
