Given:
A statement.
To find:
The sum of all the two-digit numbers that leave the remainder 2 when divided by 5.
Solution:
The sum of all the two-digit numbers that leave the remainder 2 when divided by 5 is 981.
To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:
The required two-digit numbers that leave the remainder 2 when divided by 5 are
12, 17, 22, ..., 97
As there is a common difference i.e. 5 between two consecutive terms, this means, it forms an A.P.
Here
a = 12
d = 5
So,
The total number of terms can be given by using the formula:
nth term = a + (n - 1) d
97 = 12 + (n - 1) 5
97 = 12 + 5n - 5
90 = 5n
18 = n
The sum of 18 terms of an A.P. is given by
On solving the above, we get
Hence, the sum of all the two-digit numbers that leave the remainder 2 when divided by 5 is 981.
