Find the sum of all even numbers between 20 and 200.

 

200 - 20=180 all numbers 

180/2 +1=91 terms

(F+(F+(N-1) X D)) X 1/2 X N=

(20+(20+(91-1) X 2)) X 1/2 X 91=10,010

Note that the number of even terms between 20 and 30   =

 

[30 - 20] / 2  - 1 = 

 

10/2  - 1    = 

 

5 - 1   =

 

4  ......so....

 

The number of even terms between  20 and 200  = 

 

[200 - 20]/2  - 1  =

 

180/2  - 1  =

 

90 - 1  =

 

89

 

And.....we can arrange the numbers in such a way such that the sum of each pair = 198 + 22  =

 

220   .....and we will have 44 pairs  of these plus  [200 + 20] / 2  = 220/2  = 110  .......so.......

 

220*44 + 110  =

 

9790

 

 

cool cool cool
