Let us assume the three consecutive natural numbers be P, P + 1 and P + 2.
∴ According to the given question,
P2 + (P + 1)2 + (P + 2)2 = 2030Correct Option: B
Let us assume the three consecutive natural numbers be P, P + 1 and P + 2.
∴ According to the given question,
P2 + (P + 1)2 + (P + 2)2 = 2030
P2 + P2 + 2P + 1 + P2 + 4P + 4 = 2030
⇒ 3P2 + 6P + 5 = 2030
⇒ 3P2 + 6P − 2025 = 0
⇒ P2 + 2P – 675 = 0
⇒ P2 + 27P – 25P – 675 = 0
⇒ P (P + 27) – 25 (P+ 27) = 0
⇒ (P – 25) (P + 27) = 0
∴ P = 25 and – 27
∴ Required number = P + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26

Series of all natural numbers from 75 to 97 is in A.P. whose first term, a = 75, last term, l = 97
If number of terms be n, then
an = a + ( n – 1 )d
⇒ 97 = 75 + ( n – 1 )
⇒ n = 97 – 74 = 23Sn = n (a + 1) 2 Correct Option: D

Series of first 20 odd natural numbers is an arithmetic progression with 1 as the first term and the common difference 2. Sum of n terms in arithmetic progression is given by.
Sn = n [2a + (n − 1)d] 2
Where a : First term, d : common difference and n = Number of termsCorrect Option: C
Series of first 20 odd natural numbers is an arithmetic progression with 1 as the first term and the common difference 2. Sum of n terms in arithmetic progression is given by.
Sn = n [2a + (n − 1)d] 2
Where a = First term, d = common difference and n = Number of terms∴ S20 = 20 × [(2 × 1) + (20 − 1) × 2] 2
∴ S20 = 10 [ 2 + 38 ] = 10 × 40 = 400

Let us assume the 3 consecutive odd natural numbers are P, P + 2, P + 4;
According to question;
∴ P + P + 2 + P + 4 = 147
⇒ 3P + 6 = 147
⇒ 3P = 147 – 6 = 141Correct Option: C
