Solution
0.6, 0.9, 1.2,1.5,...
First term = 0.6
Common difference = Second term – First term
= 0.9 – 0.6
= 0.3

Determine the sum of first 100 terms of given A.P. 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, ......
Activity :- Here, a = 12, d = `square`, n = 100, S100 = ?
Sn = `"n"/2 [square + ("n" - 1)"d"]`
S100 = `square/2 [24 + (100 - 1)"d"]`
= `50(24 + square)`
= `square`
= `square`
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`.
