Find the sum of the first 40 positive integers divisible by 6. ? (CBSE 2012)

The smallest positive integer which is divisible by 6 is 6 itself and its 40th multiple will be 6 x 40 = 240


So, we have a = 6, d = 6, n = 40 and 40th term = 240.


Sum of first 40 positive integers divisible by 6 can be calculated as follows:




= 20(12 + 234)


= 20*246


= 4920
