Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the sum of all the numbers less than 1000, which are neither divisible by 5 nor by 2.
Numbers divisible by 2 upto 1000 are 2, 4 , 6, ........ 1000.
Sum of all the numbers divisible by 2 upto 1000 = 2 + 4 + 6 + ....... + 1000 = 2 (1 + 2 + 3 + .......... + 500)
[Using: sum of first n natural numbers]
Numbers divisible by 5 upto 1000 are 5, 10 , 15, ........ 1000.
Sum of all the numbers divisible by 5 upto 1000 = 5 + 10 + 15 + ....... + 1000 = 5 (1 + 2 + 3 + ........ + 200)
Let us find out the sum of all the numbers which are divisible by both 5 and 2.
Numbers divisible by both 2 and 5 will be divisible by 10.
The numbers upto 1000 which are divisible by 10 are: 10, 20, 30, 40, ............ 990, 1000.
Clearly, this forms an AP with a = 10, d = 10, an = 1000, where n can be found out as follows:
an = a + (n – 1) d
⇒ 1000 = 10 + (n – 1) × 10
⇒n = 100
Sum of all the numbers upto 1000 = 1 + 2 + 3 + ........... + 999 + 1000
Sum of all the numbers less than 1000, which are neither divisible by 5 nor by 2 =
Sum of all the numbers upto 1000 – (Sum of all the numbers divisible by 2 upto 1000 + Sum of all the numbers divisible by 5 upto 1000 – Sum of all the numbers which are divisible by both 2 and 5)
= 500500 – (250500 + 100500 – 50500)
= 200000
hey mate,
the number which is divisible by either 2 or 5 or both is divisible 10 .
that is it must not be divisible by 10.
thus,
the required sum=sum total to 1000-sum of nos. divisible by 10.
[sum of No's. divisible by 10:
1000=10+(n-1)10
990=(n-1)10
n=100
thus,sum=100/2(10+1000)
=50*1010
=5050]
=1000(1000+1)/2 - 5050
=500*1001-5050
=500500-5050
=495450
