the sum of all the natural numbers between 1 and 101 which are divisible by 5 is
Answers
Answer:
1050.
Step-by-step explanation:
Numbers between 1 and 101 which are divisible by 5 are 5 , 10 , 15 ... 100.
On observing we found that these consecutive multiples of 5 form an AP of common difference 5 with first term of 5 and last term of 100.
From the properties of AP :
nth term = a + ( n - 1 )d { where a is the first term and d is the common difference between the terms }
Thus, let the number of multiples of 5 be n.
⇒ 100 = 5 + ( n - 1 )5
⇒ 100 - 5 = ( n - 1 )5
⇒ 95 = ( n - 1 )5
⇒ 95 / 5 = n - 1
⇒ 19 = n - 1
⇒ 20 = n
Therefore, using Sum of n terms = ( n / 2 ){ a + l } where l is the last term
⇒ Sum of first 20 term = ( 20 / 2 )[ 5 + 100 ]
⇒ 10( 105 )
⇒ 1050
Hence the sum of all natural numbers between 1 and 101 which are divisible by 5 is 1050.

Aloha !
To find n th term we have formula in progressions.
N th term= a+(n-1)d
100=5+(n-1)5
100-5 =(n-1)5
95=(n-1)5
95÷5=(n-1)
19=n-1
n=19+1
n=20
We need sum of n th term= n/2(a+I)
=20/2×(5+100)
=10/1×(105)
=10×105
