5. The first answer is correct, NSS....to see why this is so....note that we have
2(1) + 2(2) + 2(3) + 2(4) + ........=
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + .....
6. Note that the first term is
5(3) = 15
And the last term is
5(8) = 40
And the number of terms is [ 8 - 3] + 1 = 6
So....the sum is
[ First term + Last term ] * number of terms / 2 =
[ 15 + 40 ] * 6 / 2 =
55 * 3 =
165
