Question

Find the sum of all even numbers between 1 and 350.
Sum

Solution

The given sequence is 2, 4, 6, 8 ... 344, 346, 348

Now, surely the above-mentioned range is in an A.P. or Arithmetic Progression. (Because the difference between two consecutive numbers in the given series is always constant.)

The above sequence is an A.P. with

a = t1 = 2,

d = t2 - t1 = 4 - 2 = 2,

tn = 348

Since tn = a + (n - 1) d

∴ 348 = 2 + (n - 1) 2

∴ 348 = 2 - 2n + 2

∴ 348 = 2 + 2n - 2

∴ 348 = 2n

∴ n = `348/2` = 174

∴ n = 174

Thus, the number of terms (n) = 174.

Now, Sn = `n/2` [2a + (n - 1)d]

∴ S174 = `174/2` [2(2) + (174 - 1)2]

= 87 [4 + (173)2]

= 87 [4 + 346]

= 87 × 350

= 30450

Hence, the sum of all even numbers between 1 and 350 is 30450.
