Question

Find the sum of first 12 natural numbers each of which is a multiple of 7.

Sum

Solution

First 12 natural numbers which are multiple of 7 are as follows:

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84

Clearly, this forms an A.P. with first term a = 7,

Common difference d = 7 and last term l = 84

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

`=>` Sum of first 12 natural numbers which are multiple of 7

= `12/2 [7 + 84]`

= 6 × 91

= 546
