Question

Find the sum of all multiples of 9 lying between 300 and 700.

Solution

The multiples of 9 lying between 300 and 700 are 306, 315,………, 693.
This is an AP with a =  306,d = 9 and l = 693.
Suppose these are n terms in the AP. Then,

an = 693  

⇒ 306+ (n-1) × 9 = 639                             [an = a + (n-1) d] 

⇒ 9n + 297 = 693

⇒ 9n = 693 - 297 = 396

⇒ n=44

∴ Required sum =  `44/2 (306 = 693)                   [s_n = n/2 (a+1)]`

= 22× 999

= 21978

Hence, the required sum is 21978.
