Attempt of the following sub questions:
Find the sum of all numbers from 50 to 250 which divisible by 6 and find t13.

Numbers from 50 to 250 which are divisible by 6 are


54, 60, 66, 72… 246


the series is in AP with common difference d = 6 and first term


a = 54


nth term is 246


nth term of A.P is given by tn = a + (n – 1) × d


246 = 54 + (n – 1) × 6


246 = 54 + 6n – 6


246 = 48 + 6n


246 – 48 = 6n


198 = 6n


n = 33


Which means there are 33 numbers between 50 and 250 which are divisible by 6


Sum of an AP is given by × (2a + (n – 1) × d)


sum = × ((2 × 54) + (33 – 1) × 6)


sum = × (108 + 32 × 6)


sum = × (108 + 192)


sum = × (108 + 192)


sum = × (300)


sum = 33 × 150


sum = 4950


13th term using equation for tn


t13 = 54 + (13 – 1) × 6


t13 = 54 + (12) × 6


t13 = 54 + 72


t13 = 126


Therefore, sum of all numbers from 50 to 250 which divisible by 6 is 4950 and 13th term t13 is 126
