Find the sum of all odd numbers between
(i) 0 and 50
(ii) 100 and 200.
(i) In this problem, we need to find the sum of all odd numbers lying between 0 and 50.
So, we know that the first odd number after 0 is 1 and the last odd number before 50 is 49.
Also, all these terms will form an A.P. with the common difference of 2.
So here,
First term (a) = 1
Last term (l) = 49
Common difference (d) = 2
So, here the first step is to find the total number of terms. Let us take the number of terms as n.
Now, as we know,
$a_{e}=a+(n-1) d$
So, for the last term,
$49=1+(n-1) 2$
$49=1+2 n-2$
$49=2 n-1$
$49+1=2 n$
Further simplifying,
$50=2 n$
$n=\frac{50}{2}$
$n=25$
Now, using the formula for the sum of n terms,
$S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$
For $n=25$, we get,
On further simplification, we get,
$S_{n}=25(25)$
$=625$
Therefore, the sum of all the odd numbers lying between 0 and 50 is $S_{n}=625$.
(ii) In this problem, we need to find the sum of all odd numbers lying between 100 and 200.
So, we know that the first odd number after 0 is 101 and the last odd number before 200 is 199.
Also, all these terms will form an A.P. with the common difference of 2.
So here,
First term (a) = 101
Last term (l) = 199
Common difference (d) = 2
So, here the first step is to find the total number of terms. Let us take the number of terms as n.
Now, as we know,
$a_{n}=a+(n-1) d$
So, for the last term,
$199=101+(n-1) 2$
$199=101+2 n-2$
$199=99+2 n$
$199-99=2 n$
Further simplifying,
$100=2 n$
$n=\frac{100}{2}$
$n=50$
Now, using the formula for the sum of n terms,
$S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$
For n = 50, we get,
$S_{n}=\frac{50}{2}[2(101)+(50-1) 2]$
$=25[202+(49) 2]$
$=25(202+98)$
$=25(300)$
$=7500$
Therefore, the sum of all the odd numbers lying between 100 and 200 is $S_{n}=7500$.
