Solution
The given A.P is 8, 10, 12, 14,...., 126.
a = 8 and d = 2.
When this A.P is reversed, we get the A.P.
126, 124, 122, 120,....
So, first term becomes 126 and common difference −2.
The sum of first 10 terms of this A.P is as follows:
\[S_{10} = \frac{10}{2}\left[ 2 \times 126 + 9\left( - 2 \right) \right]\]
\[ = 5\left[ 234 \right]\]
\[ = 1170\]

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`.
