Question:
Find the sum of all even integers between 101 and 999.
Solution:
The even integers between 101 and 999 are:
102, 104...998
Here, we have:
$a=102$
$d=2$
$a_{n}=998$
$\Rightarrow 102+(n-1) 2=998$
$\Rightarrow 2 n-2=896$
$\Rightarrow 2 n=898$
$\Rightarrow n=449$
$S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$
$\Rightarrow S_{449}=\frac{449}{2}[2 \times 102+(449-1) \times 2]$
$\Rightarrow S_{449}=\frac{449}{2}[1100]$
$\Rightarrow S_{449}=246950$
