Answer

First 10 even natural numbers are : 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, …. upto 10 terms.

The above list is an A.P. with,

First term (a) = 2

Common difference (d) = 2

By formula,

Sum of n terms = n2\dfrac{n}{2}[2a + (n - 1)d]

Substituting values we get :

=102[2×2+(101)×2]=5×[4+9×2]=5×[4+18]=5×22=110.= \dfrac{10}{2}[2 \times 2 + (10 - 1) \times 2] \\[1em] = 5 \times [4 + 9 \times 2] \\[1em] = 5 \times [4 + 18] \\[1em] = 5 \times 22 \\[1em] = 110.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
