Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

The sum of all natural numbers less than 100 which are divisible by 6 is given as 6 + 12 + 18 + .... + 96. The above series is an A.P. with a = 6, d = 6 and l = 96. Let 96 be nth term of the series then, ⇒ 96 = 6 + 6(n - 1) ⇒ 96 - 6 = 6n - 6 ⇒ 90 = 6n - 6 ⇒ 6n = 90 + 6 ⇒ 6n = 96 ⇒ n = 16. By formula S_n = ⇒ S₁₆ = ⇒ S₁₆ = 8[12 + 90] ⇒ S₁₆ = 8 × 102 ⇒ S₁₆ = 816. Hence, the sum of all natural numbers less than 100 which are divisible by 6 is 816.
