Solution
Natural numbers between 250 and 1000 which are divisible by 9 are as follows:
252, 261, 270, 279, ......, 999
Clearly, this forms an A.P. with the first term a = 252, common difference d = 9 and last term l = 999
l = a + (n – 1)d
`=>` 999 = 252 + (n – 1) × 9
`=>` 747 = (n – 1) × 9
`=>` n – 1 = 83
`=>` n = 84
Sum of first n terms = `S = n/2[a + 1]`
`=>` Sum of natural numbers between 250 and 1000 which are divisible by 9
= `84/2 [252 + 999]`
= 42 × 1251
= 52542
