-  The sum of all the 3-digit numbers, each of which on division by 5 leaves remainder 3, is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum According to the question, 
 First number = a = 103
 Last number = l = 998
 ∴ If the number of such numbers be n, then,
 998 = 103 + (n – 1) × 5
 ⇒ (n – 1) × 5= 998 – 103 = 895⇒ n − 1 = 895 = 179 5 
 ⇒ n = 180∴ S = n (a + 1) 2 = 180 (103 + 998) 2 
 = 90 × 1101 = 99090Correct Option: DAccording to the question, 
 First number = a = 103
 Last number = l = 998
 ∴ If the number of such numbers be n, then,
 998 = 103 + (n – 1) × 5
 ⇒ (n – 1) × 5= 998 – 103 = 895⇒ n − 1 = 895 = 179 5 
 ⇒ n = 180∴ S = n (a + 1) 2 = 180 (103 + 998) 2 
 = 90 × 1101 = 99090
-  The sum of first 50 odd natural numbers is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum S = 1 + 3 + 5 + ..... to 50 terms Here, a = 1 
 d = 3 – 1 = 2
 n = 50∴ S = n [2a + (n − 1)d] 2 = 50 [2 × 1 + (50 − 1) × 2] 2 
 = 25 (2 + 98) = 25 × 100
 = 2500
 Correct Option: DS = 1 + 3 + 5 + ..... to 50 terms Here, a = 1 
 d = 3 – 1 = 2
 n = 50∴ S = n [2a + (n − 1)d] 2 = 50 [2 × 1 + (50 − 1) × 2] 2 
 = 25 (2 + 98) = 25 × 100
 = 2500
 
-  The sum of all the natural numbers from 51 to 100 is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum As we know that the sum of N natural Numbers 1 + 2 + 3 ........ + n S = n ( n + 1) 2 
 Given in the question,
 ∴ 51 + 52 + ..... + 100
 We can write as below
 ⇒ 51 + 52 + ..... + 100 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ............ + 100) – ( 1 + 2 + 3 +..........+ 50)Correct Option: DAs we know that the sum of N natural Numbers 1 + 2 + 3 ........ + n S = n ( n + 1) 2 
 Given in the question,
 ∴ 51 + 52 + ..... + 100
 We can write as below
 ⇒ 51 + 52 + ..... + 100 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ............ + 100) – ( 1 + 2 + 3 +..........+ 50)= 100 × 101 − 50 × 51 2 2 
 = 5050 – 1275 = 3775
-  The sum of three consecutive numbers is 87. The middle number is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let us assume the three consecutive natural numbers be N, N + 1, N + 2. 
 According to the question,
 N + N + 1 + N + 2 = 87Correct Option: BLet us assume the three consecutive natural numbers be N, N + 1, N + 2. 
 According to the question,
 N + N + 1 + N + 2 = 87
 ⇒ 3N + 3 = 87⇒ 3N = 84 ⇒ N = 84 = 28 3 
 ∴ Middle number = 28 + 1 = 29
-  Sum of three consecutive even integers is 54. Find the least among them.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let us assume the 3 consecutive even integers be 2A, 2A + 2 and 2A + 4 respectively. 
 According to given question,
 ∴ 2A + 2x + 2 + 2x + 4 = 54Correct Option: DLet us assume the 3 consecutive even integers be 2A, 2A + 2 and 2A + 4 respectively. 
 According to given question,
 ∴ 2A + 2x + 2 + 2x + 4 = 54
 ⇒ 6A + 6 = 54
 ⇒ 6A = 54 – 6 = 48
 ⇒ A = 8
 ∴ The least even number = 2A = 2 × 8 = 16
