Find the sum of all natural numbers between 1 and 201 which are divisible by 5.

Open in App
Solution

Since the sequence is the sum of all natural numbers between 41 and 201, therefore, the sequence is of the type 5+10+15.........+200

We know the nth term of an A.P with first term a and the common difference d is:

tn=a+(n1)d

Here, the first term is a=5, common difference is d=105=5 and tn=200, therefore,

tn=a+(n1)d200=5+(n1)5200=5+5n55n=200n=2005=40

We also know the sum of n terms of an A.P with first term a and the common difference d is:

Sn=n2[2a+(n1)d]

Here, the first term is a=5, number of terms n=40 and common difference is d=5, therefore,

Sn=n2[2a+(n1)d]=402[(2×5)+(401)(5)]=20(10+195)=20×205=4100

Hence, the sum of all natural numbers between 41 and 201 is 4100.
