Question

Find the sum of all natural numbers between 250 and 1000 which are divisible by 9.

Sum

Solution

Natural numbers between 250 and 1000 which are divisible by 9 are as follows:

252, 261, 270, 279, ......, 999

Clearly, this forms an A.P. with the first term a = 252, common difference d = 9 and last term l = 999

l = a + (n – 1)d

`=>` 999 = 252 + (n – 1) × 9

`=>` 747 = (n – 1) × 9

`=>` n – 1 = 83

`=>` n = 84

Sum of first n terms = `S = n/2[a + 1]`

`=>` Sum of natural numbers between 250 and 1000 which are divisible by 9

= `84/2 [252 + 999]`

= 42 × 1251

= 52542
