Solution

Given:
 \[A . P . \frac{1}{m}, \frac{1 + m}{m}, \frac{1 + 2m}{m}, . . . .\]
We know that the nth term of an AP is given by \[a_n = a + \left( n - 1 \right)d\]
In the given AP
\[a = \frac{1}{m}\]
\[d = \frac{1 + m}{m} - \frac{1}{m} = \frac{1 + m - 1}{m} = 1\]
Thus, the nth term of the given AP is
\[a_n = \frac{1}{m} + \left( n - 1 \right)1 = \frac{1 + \left( n - 1 \right)m}{m}\]

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`.
