Solution
The odd integers between 1 and 1000 that are divisible by 3 are:
3, 9, 15, 21...999
Here, we have:
\[a = 3, d = 6\]
\[ a_n = 999\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3 + (n - 1)6 = 999\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3 + 6n - 6 = 999\]
\[ \Rightarrow 6n = 1002\]
\[ \Rightarrow n = 167\]
\[ S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left[ 2a + (n - 1)d \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow S_{167} = \frac{167}{2}\left[ 2 \times 3 + (167 - 1)6 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow S_{167} = \frac{167}{2}\left[ 1002 \right] = 83667\]
\[\text { Hence, proved } .\]
