Question:
Find the sum of all odd integers from 1 to 201.
Solution:
To Find: The sum of all odd integers from 1 to 201.
The odd integers form the following AP series:
1,3,5….201
First term = a = 1
Common difference = d = 2
Last term = 201
Let the number of terms be n
$\Rightarrow 1+2(n-1)=201$
$\Rightarrow n-1=100$
$\Rightarrow n=101$
Sum of AP series $=\frac{n}{2}($ First term $+$ Last term $)$
$=\frac{101}{2}(1+201)$
= 101 × 101 = 10201
The sum of all odd integers from 1 to 201 is 10201.
